| Questions and Answers (Q&A) | Back Directory | [Description]
Methyl-4-oxobutyrate is a kind of oxobutyrate derivative. It is an
important industrial intermediate. It, together with its methanol
addition products such as methyl 4,4-dimethoxybutyrate and gamma-
methoxy-gamma-butyrolactone are useful intermediates during the
preparation of some important industrial compounds such as gamma-
butyrolactone, 1,4-butanediol and glutamate. It is also useful as a
model substrate during exploring the asymmetric henry reaction since
it can assemble a stereodefined lactam with high efficiency and
enantiomeric purity. | [References]
