Common Namecyclotriphosphoric acid
DescriptionCyclotriphosphoric acid is a cyclic triphosphoric acid, classified as a phosphoric acid derivative. Its chemical structure consists of three phosphate groups linked in a ring formation, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is involved in various biochemical pathways, including those related to nucleotide metabolism and energy transfer. For example, cyclotriphosphoric acid is isoelectronic to cyclotrimethylenetriphosphinic acid, which is formed during the hydrolysis of specific phosphorous-containing compounds, such as 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexakis(dimethylamino)-1λ5,3λ5,5λ5 -[1,3,5]triphosphinine (PMID:29711811 ). The cyclic nature of cyclotriphosphoric acid allows it to participate in reactions that are essential for cellular processes, including those that generate or utilize energy in the form of ATP. Understanding its structure and reactivity can provide insights into its role in metabolism and potential applications in biochemical research.
