Isopropylmalic acid (isopropylmalate) is an intermediate in the biosynthesisofleucine,[1] synthesized from oxoisovalerateby2-isopropylmalate synthase and converted into isopropyl-3-oxosuccinateby3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase. Two isomers are important, the 2- and 3-isopropyl derivatives, and these are interconverted by isopropylmalate dehydratase.
