2-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid, a synthetic organic compound, is used in wastewater treatment. Classified as an alkanoic acid, it readily engages in acetylation to yield cinchonidine. 2-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid can be synthesized from pentenoic acid. it also has anti-inflammatory attributes, due to its ability to suppress fatty acid production via lipoxygenase enzyme inhibition. This compound also has immobilization properties and can be deuterated as a stable isotopic label.
