Based on the SMILES representation CC(C)CC(=O)C(=O)O, the molecule can be described by:
The molecule is a 2-oxo monocarboxylic acid that is pentanoic acid (valeric acid) substituted with a keto group at C-2 and a methyl group at C-4. A metabolite that has been found to accumulate in maple syrup urine disease. It has a role as a human metabolite and an algal metabolite. It derives from a valeric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate.
