QUICK LINKS
2,3-Dimethyl-2-butanol, referred to as 2,3-DMB, emerges as a four-carbon alcohol derived from the alkane 2-methyl-2-butene. This colorless, low-boiling liquid carries a pleasant fruity scent. 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butanol finds diverse applications, serving as a solvent, fuel additive, and flavoring agent. Within the realm of scientific research, 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butanol has proven valuable in various applications. It has been employed as a model compound for investigating alcohol oxidation, as well as a probe for studying enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Moreover, it has served as a substrate for exploring alcohol metabolism. The properties of alcohols in aqueous solutions and the mechanisms behind alcohol-solvent interactions have also been investigated using 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butanol. In terms of its metabolic fate within the body, 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butanol undergoes transformation through a range of enzymes, including alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). ADH facilitates the oxidation of 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butanol, converting it into acetaldehyde. Subsequently, ALDH further metabolizes acetaldehyde, leading to the formation of acetate.
