α-Acetohydroxybutyric acid
α-Acetohydroxybutyric acid is a metabolic intermediate produced under the catalysis of acetolactate synthase. α-Acetohydroxybutyric acid is generated from 2-oxobutyric acid and converted into 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid in the 2-methylbutanol biosynthetic pathway.

Biological Activity
α-Acetohydroxybutyric acid is a key intermediate in the engineered 2-methylbutanol biosynthetic pathway in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where it is generated from 2-oxobutanate by acetolactate synthase and converted to 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylvalerate by ketol-acid reductoisomerase[1].
