ABSTRACT ACETOACETIC acid is an important and widespread intermediary metabolite, being formed in the oxida-tive degradation of fatty acids and of certain amino-acids. For comparison with


acetoacetic acid, we have prepared1 the compound ethyl ω-fluoroacetoacetate, FCH2COCH2COOC2H5. From a consideration of its structural similarity to 4-fluorobutyric acid2 and of its probable


interference with the mechanism of fatty acid metabolism, we predicted that it would produce toxic symptoms. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
