2,2-Dimethylbutyric acid (2,2-DMBA) is a carboxylic acid compound that exists as a colorless crystalline solid. It acts as a reagent for the production of other compounds like 2-methylbutyric acid and 2-methylpentanoic acid. Extensive research has focused on exploring the properties of 2,2-Dimethylbutyric acid. It serves as a model compound for studying the mechanisms of various enzymes such as acyl-CoA synthetase and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. The mechanism of action of 2,2-Dimethylbutyric acid involves its conversion to 2-methylbutyryl-CoA, facilitated by acyl-CoA synthetase.
