Application

Dimethyl (S)-(-)-malate may be used as a starting material to synthesize (-)-tulipalin B.[1] The selective reduction of its ester group to alcohol can be accomplished using borane-dimethyl sulfide complex (BMS) in the presence of sodium tetrahydroborate.[2]
This chiral synthon has been used to prepare cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid,[3] and cyclic sulfolanes with HIV-1 protease inhibition potential.[4]

Secreted proteins are important metabolic regulators in both healthy and disease states. Here, we sought to investigate the mechanism by which the secreted protein complement 1q-like-3 (C1ql3) regulates insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, a key process affecting whole-body glucose metabolism.

Questions

  1. What is the recommended procedure for diluting Dimethyl (S)-(-)-malate with the catalog number 374318 (CAS 617-55-0)? If it is possible to dilute it in water, how should the required amount be calculated?

    1 answer
    1. The solubility of product number 374318 has not been validated; however, it is expected to be soluble in chloroform, ethanol, methanol, and ethyl acetate. It is unlikely to be soluble in water, though there may be slight solubility at very low concentrations.
