Description and Uses

2,2-Dimethylbutyric acid is the intermediate of crucial importance in producing cardiovascular drugs, such as Simvastatin and agricultural chemicals, miticide spiral shell mite ester. It can also be used for rubber, dyestuff, etc. industries simultaneously. All 2,2-Dimethylbutyric acid production processes are that primary isoamyl alcohol and formic acid react under sulfuric acid catalysis. This technique's shortcoming is to produce a large amount of Waste Sulfuric Acids.

2,2-Dimethylbutyrate (DMB) is a potential treatment for thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies.
