Usage

General Description

Sodium isobutyrate is a salt form of isobutyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that is naturally found in small amounts in dairy products and animal fats. It is primarily used as a feed additive for livestock to improve digestion and promote overall health. It acts as a source of energy for the cells lining the gut and has been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the intestines. Additionally, sodium isobutyrate has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties in human cell lines, making it of interest for future therapeutic applications.

Process for producing a carboxylic acid

A nitrile compound or an amide compound is hydrolyzed in the presence of an inorganic acid or other acidic catalyst or an alkali metal hydroxide or other basic catalyst, and the by-produced ammonium salt of the acidic catalyst or the produced salt of a carboxylic acid and a base is electrodialysed to form an acid and ammonia or aqueous ammonia, or to form a base and ammonia. The obtained acid or base may be recycled as a catalyst for the hydrolysis of the nitrile compound or amide compound, and the obtained ammonia is reutilized as a nitrogen source for the nitrile compound or amide compound. Such amide compound may be produced by hydration of a nitrite compound in the presence of a manganese oxide.

Biosynthesis of Sulfur Compounds. Investigations of the Biosinthesis of Asparagusic Acid.

Investigations of the biosynthesis of the naturally occuring 1,2-dithiolane asparagusic acid (1) in Asparagus officinalis have shovn that the substance is derived from inobutyric acid via the intermediacy of methacrylic acid, 2-methyl-3-mercaptopropionic acid, and S-(2-carboxy-n-propyl) cysteine.The conversion of isobutyric acid to methacrylic acid in Asparagus has also been shown to proceed by oxidation of the 2-pro-S methyl group of isobutyrate.Finally, the absolute configuration of naturally occuring S-(2-carboxy-n-propyl)cysteine has been determined.
