Usage

General Description

3-methoxybutyric acid is a chemical compound also known as MBHA. It is a short-chain fatty acid that contains a butyric acid group with a methoxy group attached to the third carbon. 3-methoxybutyric acid is found naturally in certain foods and it is also produced as a metabolite in the human body. MBHA has been studied for its potential therapeutic effects in the treatment of metabolic disorders, particularly in relation to its role in regulating energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity. It has also been investigated for its potential as a biomarker for metabolic diseases and as a precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. Overall, 3-methoxybutyric acid has shown promise for its potential applications in the fields of medicine and drug development.

Iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of vinyl ethers

A carbene-oxazoline catalyst 1 proved to be an effective catalyst for reduction of an enol ether that the literature suggested could not be hydrogenated effectively by P,N-Ir catalysts. Thus, a series of ester and alcohol substrates were hydrogenated using catalyst 1. Good to excellent enantioselectivities and high conversions were obtained.

Halogenated Epoxides. 61. Reactions of Selected Chlorooxiranes with Sodium Methoxide: About the Question of Acetylenic and Allenic Epoxides as Intermediates

Reactions of sodium methoxide with five chlorooxiranes (1, 3, 11, 18, and 19) and with the corresponding isomeric chlorocarbonyl compounds have been examined.In two cases the chlorooxirane and the corresponding chlorocarbonyl compound afforded the same products, however, in different yields.In the other cases the chlorooxiranes and the corresponding chlorocarbonyl compounds gave different products.It is concluded that chlorocarbonyl compounds are not formed to a large extent as intermediates.In the reactions of two chlorooxiranes (18 and 19) with sodium methoxide, acetylenic and allenic epoxides may be invoked as transient intermediates.
