3-Oxohexanedioic Acid Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

3-Oxohexanedioic Acid is a degradation product of catechol in the presence of hydrogen peroxide; Also, it is derived from 3-Oxohexanedioic Acid Diethyl Ester (O856830), which is an intermediate used to prepare CMPF (C595000) which is a drug-binding inhibitor which is also a constituent of urine. CMPF can inhibit specific T4 binding in serum by increasing the free concentration of direct competitors.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-oxoadipic acid is an oxo dicarboxylic acid consisting of adipic acid having a single oxo group at the 3-position. It has a role as a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite and a human metabolite. It is an oxo dicarboxylic acid and a dicarboxylic fatty acid. It is functionally related to an adipic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-oxoadipate(2-).
