Acetonedicarboxylic acid, 3-oxoglutaric acid or β-ketoglutaric acid is a simple dicarboxylic acid with the formula Template:Chem2. β-Ketoglutarate does not have the biological activity exhibited by α-ketoglutarate.[2]

Preparation

Acetonedicarboxylic acid can also be prepared by decarboxylation of citric acid in fuming sulfuric acid:[3]

Applications

Acetonedicarboxylic acid and its esters such as dimethylacetonedicarboxylate are primarily used as building blocks in the synthesis of heterocyclic rings[4] and in the Weiss–Cook reaction.[5]

Acetonedicarboxylic acid is well known to be used in the Robinson tropinone synthesis.

The presence of β-ketoglutaric acid in human urine is diagnostic for the harmful gut flora such as Candida albicans.[6]
