2-Methylheptanoic Acid is used as a reagent in the synthesis of novel isoniazid derivatives with potent antitubercular activity.
2-Methylheptanoic acid has a fatty, sour odor (rancid-like) with a
sour, fruity, and nut-like flavor. May be synthesized by decarboxylation of methylamyl malonic acid; two optically active isomers
and an optically inactive form can be prepared.
