3-Hydroxypropionic acid is a
3-Hydroxypropionic acid is used in the industrial production of various chemicals such as acrylates.
Synthesis
3-Hydroxypropionic acid can be obtained by base-induced hydration of acrylic acid followed by reacidification. Another synthesis involves cyanation of ethylene chlorohydrin followed by hydrolysis of the resulting nitrile. Hydrolysis of
Potential applications
The polyester poly(3-hydroxypropionic acid) is a biodegradable polymer.[4] The method combines the high-molecular weight and control aspects of ring-opening polymerization with the commercial availability of the beta hydroxy acid, 3-hydroxypropionic acid which is abbreviated as 3-HP. Since 3-HPA can be derived from biological sources, the resulting material, poly(3-hydroxypropionic acid) or P(3-HPA), is biorenewable.
Genetically encoded 3-hydroxypropionic acid inducible system
3-Hydroxypropionic acid can be produced by engineered
A genetically encoded 3-hydroxypropionic acid inducible system has been characterized in bacteria demonstrating that such system in combination with fluorescent reporter protein can be utilized as a biosensor to measure intracellular and extracellular 3-HP concentrations by fluorescence output.[6]
