Calcium (R)-3-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutanamido)propanoate (cas: 137-08-6) belongs to alcohols. The oxygen atom of the strongly polarized O―H bond of an alcohol pulls electron density away from the hydrogen atom. This polarized hydrogen, which bears a partial positive charge, can form a hydrogen bond with a pair of nonbonding electrons on another oxygen atom. Under carefully controlled conditions, simple alcohols can undergo intermolecular dehydration to give ethers. This reaction is effective only with methanol, ethanol, and other simple primary alcohols.Application In Synthesis of Calcium (R)-3-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutanamido)propanoate

A 63-day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of enzyme-treated soybean (ESB) replacing fish meal (FM) on growth performance, muscle composition, biochem. indexes, digestive enzymes activities and intestinal morphol. of juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Largemouth bass with initial weight of (18.14 ± 0.11) g were randomly divided into 5 groups with 3 replicates, each group of 30 fish per replicate. Five diets were formulated by replacing 0, 80, 120, 160 and 200 g kg-1 FM with ESB (ESB0, ESB80, ESB120, ESB160 and ESB200, resp.). Results showed that weight gain rate and specific growth rate significantly improved in ESB160 group (p < .05). Crude protein content in muscle significantly increased with FM replacement amount up to 160 g kg-1, while crude lipid content significantly decreased (p < .05). Activities of lysozyme and catalase reached the highest level in ESB120 group (p < .05). The activity of superoxide dismutase was significantly increased in ESB200 group, while malondialdehyde concentration significantly decreased. With increasing dietary ESB level, activities of protease and lipase in stomach had significant increase in ESB160 group (p < .05). The intestinal wall thickness and villi length in ESB160 group were significantly higher than those in other groups (p < .05). To sum up, the present study suggested that the optimal replacement level of dietary FM by ESB was 160 g kg-1, which means the supplemented levels of FM and ESB in diet were 400 and 260 g kg-1, resp. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Calcium (R)-3-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutanamido)propanoate (cas: 137-08-6Application In Synthesis of Calcium (R)-3-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutanamido)propanoate).
