Uses

4-Acetylbutyric acid may be used in the preparation of the following compounds:
5-hydroxyhexanoic acid
6-methyl1-3,4-dihydro-pyran-2-one, precursor for 5-acetyl-tetrahydro-2-(3H)-furanone
substituted N-aminolactams
(±)-5-methyl-δ-valerolactone
Crystal Structure of T.th. HB8 O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase Complexed with 4-Acetylbutyric acid

Definition

ChEBI: 4-acetylbutyric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid comprising hexanoic acid carrying a 5-oxo group. It has a role as a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite. It is a 5-oxo monocarboxylic acid, an oxo fatty acid, a medium-chain fatty acid and a straight-chain fatty acid. It derives from a hexanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 5-oxohexanoate.
