Application

Sodium 2-oxobutyrate can be used in the preparation of metal complexes such as lanthanide poly(imino carboxylate) complexes and half-sandwich complexes of (S)-1-amino-2-(methoxymethyl)-pyrrolidine. It can also be used in the synthesis of antiviral agents, 6-azapyrimidine-2′-deoxy-4′-thionucleosides.
Substrate for the determination of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes.
