Metabolite Identification
Common NameTropic acid
DescriptionTropic acid, also known as (+-)-tropate or (+-)-tropic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta hydroxy acids and derivatives. Beta hydroxy acids and derivatives are compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon atom. Tropic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Tropic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
