2-Hydroxybutanoic acid (CAS: 106-93-4) is a chiral organic intermediate primarily synthesized via fermentation or chemical oxidation. Its molecular formula is C4H8O3. This alpha-hydroxy acid serves as a critical building block in fine chemical manufacturing.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection to prevent skin irritation and respiratory sensitization during handling.
