α-Ketoglutaric acid (disodium hydrate)
α-Ketoglutaric acid disodium hydrate, an important dicarboxylic acid, is an intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCC) and amino acid metabolism. α-Ketoglutaric acid disodium hydrate can be used as building block chemical for the chemical synthesis of heterocycles, dietary supplement, component of infusion solutions and wound healing compounds, or as main component of new elastomers with a wide range of interesting mechanical and chemical properties[1].
