sodium 3-oxobutanoate; CAS No.: 623-58-5; sodium 3-oxobutanoate. PROPERTIES: Sodium 3-oxobutanoate appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a slight odor. Its molecular formula is C4H5NaO3, corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 118.08 g/mol. The compound exhibits a melting point in the range of 200-203 C and demonstrates good solubility in water, forming clear solutions. It is stable under normal laboratory conditions but should be protected from prolonged exposure to heat and light. Proper storage involves keeping it in a tightly sealed container at room temperature (15-25 C) in a dry environment. Safety considerations include wearing appropriate protective equipment as the compound may cause skin irritation and eye damage. Inhalation of dust should be avoided, and in case of accidental exposure, thorough washing with water and medical consultation is advised. APPLICATIONS: Sodium 3-oxobutanoate functions as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the preparation of certain antifungal and antibacterial agents where its oxo and carboxylate groups enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). In biochemical research, it serves as a precursor for creating metabolites and signaling molecules involved in cellular processes such as energy metabolism and apoptosis (Journal of Biological Chemistry). Additionally, it finds application in the synthesis of certain agrochemicals, though specific applications in this area are limited to non-agricultural research settings (Pest Management Science). The compound is also employed in the preparation of corrosion inhibitors for metal surfaces, where its carboxylate group adsorbs onto metal substrates to prevent oxidation and degradation (Corrosion Science).
