Akiya, Shichiro published the artcileThe fate of branched-chain fat acids in animal body. III. Relation between optical activity and chemical change in vivo of aliphatic substances with branched chain, Product Details of C10H20O2, the publication is Yakugaku Zasshi (1950), 477-80, database is CAplus.
cf. preceding abstract 2-Methylcaprylic acid, 3-methylpelargonic acid, 2-ethylcapronic acid, 2-ethylhexanol (I), 3-ethylenanthic acid, dibutylacetic acid, and dipropylpropionic acid were given to rabbits. In all cases, except I which was recovered as carboxylic acid, they were excreted in urine as monocarboxylic acids without change and dicarboxylic acids excreted after ¦Ø-oxidation. In either case, [¦Á]D showed dextro rotation, though the values were not large. No evidence was obtained as to the assumption that biol. oxidation, especially ¦Ø-oxidation, is asymmetric.
Yakugaku Zasshi published new progress about 3115-28-4. 3115-28-4 belongs to catalysis-chemistry, auxiliary class Aliphatic Chain, name is 2-Butylhexanoic acid, and the molecular formula is C10H20O2, Product Details of C10H20O2.
