is laevulinic acid or 4-keto pentanoic acid a gamma keto acid or delta keto acid?

gamma - start counting next to the carboxylic acid carbon (which is numbered 1) \n\n2 would be alpha\n\n3 would be beta\n\nand 4 keto is gamma

its solitaric acid.....its metabolism....\ncheck out the site listed!

it is a carboxy acid with the carboxyl end at the final position and containing no double bonds in the carbon chain, the first acid considered a fatty acid is probably propionic acid,the next in the sequence formic acid, acetic acid.

take a carboxylic acid and couple under normal conditions with an O-alkylated/acylated hydroxylamine.\n\nBy normal conditions, I mean normal peptide coupling conditions usined EDC, DIC/HOBt, CDI, PyBOP, PyBrOP, TBTU etc etc etc

b)carboxylic acid and an amine

GHB got a bum rap.  it's just more nonsense hysteria to justify the bloated budgets of the police state.\n\nThat aside, you don't convert beta to gamma.  suggesting an elimination failed to consider that the double bond formed will be more stable in conjugation with the carbonyl group; you'll get crotonic acid.  Subsequent hydrolysis would give you a mixture of alpha and beta.\n\nyou'd have much better luck trying to figure out a way to do it starting with GABA.\n\nOf course, if you have to ask, you lack the skilz.

The ketogenic diet is a very high fat diet that relies on inducing a state of ketosis. The diet typically provides 3-4 grams of fat for every 1 gram of carbohydrate and protein combined. It is most commonly used for the treatment of epilepsy. The diet is essentially comprised of 88% fat,10% protein, and 2% cabohydrates.\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_Diet

Excessive production of ketones may result in a disease called ketosis

It's pentanal, because it's a terminal carbonyl. It's certainly not pentanol, because otherwise you'd have a carbon missing 2 bonds, or a carbon missing 1 bond and an oxygen missing 1.

Oleic acid ((Z)-9-octadecenoic acid) + Br2 ---> 9,10-dibromooctadecanoic acid \n\nOr: \n\nC18H34O2 + Br2 ----> C18H34O2Br2

After glycolysis is finished 2 molecules of acetic acid are "loaded" into Kreb's on the enzyme Acetyl Co-A.  Co-A then returns to glycolysis in the cytoplasm to get more acetic acid.\n\nMean time the acetic acid adds to oxaloacetice acid (A 4 carbon structure) and gives a 6 carbon structure called citric acid. (2+4=6).\n\nThen CO2 and NADH2 is formed and we drop down to a 5 carbon structure called alpha ketgluteric acid and then lose CO2 and NADH2.  We also have created enough energy at this point to form an ATP and a low energy "hydrogen bus" FADH2.\n\nWhich brings us back to the 4 carbon structure oxaloaceitic acid, and we start all over again. \n\nThe purpose of Kreb's is to load what I call hydrogen busses (NADH2) because they are what unload electrons in the electron transport system which gives us a huge amount of ATP's (34).\n\nHope this helps.

Citric acid would probably be the easiest to come by.\nAsorbic acid (Vitamin C) is also anothe weak organic acid.

With diabetes the cells are unable to burn enough glucose for energy (because glucose cannot get into the cells).  The alternative to burning glucose for energy is to burn fatty acids for energy through beta oxidation.\n\nThe 'excessive' beta oxidation of fatty acids leads to a buildup of acetyl CoA.  Excess acetyl CoA is converted into ketones.  Excessive levels of ketones causes 'keto acidosis'.\n\nHope you find this helpful.

The strength of C-O pi-bond is greater than that of C-C pi bond.(~ 364kJ/mol vs ~ 250 kJ/mol). Greater strength means greater stability. Thus the keto form is much favoured.

NONE...ketones are a sign that your body is having to metabolize muscle mass to nourish itself!!  You need to eat more...
