Methyl 4-Acetyl-5-oxohexanoate is an intermediate in the synthesis of Coproporphyrin III-15N4 Sodium BIsulfate Salt (C685417). Coproporphyrin III-15N4 Tetrasodium Salt is derived from Coproporphyrin III-15N4 Tetramethyl Ester (C685412), which is a methyl ester derivative of Coproporphyrin III-15N4. Coproporphyrin I and III Tetramethyl Ester are nutritional requirements for the development of N. brasiliensis egg to third stage larvae. Coproporphyrin I and III Tetramethyl Ester are tetrapyrrole compounds excreted by Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
