4-Hydroxy-2-oxoglutaric acid, also known as 4-hydroxyglutarate, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a hydroxyl group and a ketone group adjacent to a carboxylic acid. This compound is a derivative of 2-oxoglutaric acid, an important intermediate in the Krebs cycle, and plays a role in various metabolic pathways. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in water, and exhibits weak acidity due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group. The compound is of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to amino acid metabolism and potential implications in certain metabolic disorders. Its CAS number, 1187-99-1, is used for identification in chemical databases. As with many organic acids, it may participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and decarboxylation, and can serve as a substrate for enzymatic reactions in biological systems. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
