Hexanoic acid, 3-oxo-6-(phenylmethoxy)-, ethyl ester

Ethyl 3-Oxo-6-(phenylmethoxy)-hexanoic Acid Ester is used in the discovery of cyclic amide derivatives that inhibits 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1. Also, it is derived from Ethyl Hydrogen Malonate (E918830), which has been shown to impair brain mitochondrial succinate and malate transport.
