2-Isopropylmalic acid

2-Isopropylmalic acid, also known as (2S)-2-isopropylmalate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxy fatty acids. These are fatty acids in which the chain bears a hydroxyl group. 2-Isopropylmalic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 2-Isopropylmalic acid is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
