Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Slight Yellow Liquid

Uses

Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate may be used to synthesize the conformationally constrained PNA (peptide nucleic acid) -monomer capable of binding thymine in a triplex motif. It may be used in the synthesis of 4-aryl kainic acid analogs, via highly stereoselective Michael addition reaction with nitrostyrene.

Definition

ChEBI: Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate is an oxo carboxylic acid.

General Description

Dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate is a key intermediate formed during the Krebs cycle and an important nitrogen transporter in the biological metabolic pathways. The electrochemical behavior of dimethyl-2-oxoglutarate has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry using a glassy carbon electrode.
