Glyceric acid is a natural three-carbon sugar acid. Salts and esters of glyceric acid are known as glycerates.
glycerol after reacting with gym-an oxygen giving reagent (such as KMnO4+H2SO4) produced glyceric acid.
KMnO4+3H2SO4=K2SO4+3H20+5[O] CH2OH-CHOH-CH2OH+[O]=CH2OH-CHOH-COOH+H2O
Biochemistry
Several phosphate derivatives of glyceric acid, including 2-phosphoglyceric acid, 3-phosphoglyceric acid, 2,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid, and 1,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid, are important biochemical intermediates in Glycolysis.
3-phospho-Glyceric acid is an important molecule for the biosynthesis of a certain amino acid, Serine (Ser,S) which can therefore be used for the synthesis of Cysteine (Cys,C) and Glycine (Gly,G)
