Description

General description

α-Keto-γ-methylthiobutyric acid (KMTB) is a keto derivative of L-methionine that shows considerable potential as a substitute for L-methionine. The sodium salt of KMTB can be employed in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it acts as a building block for the synthesis of amino acids, peptides, and other complex organic compounds.
