압시스 산

(+)-Abscisic acid (pure substance) is a colorless crystalline solid. It has a melting point of 160–161°C and sublimes at 120°C. The partition coefficients are 1.8 for the electrically neutral form and 0.94 for the ionic form. Its relative density is 1.21. The solubility in water is 3102 mg/L (at pH 4). The specific rotation is [α]²⁰D = +40.997° (c = 10.1 mg/mL in ethanol, at 20°C). The pKa is 4.61. It is soluble in chloroform, acetone, ethyl acetate, and diethyl ether but only sparingly soluble in benzene and water. The UV maximum absorption wavelength (in methanol) is 252 nm.

용도(+)-Abscisic acid is the natural isomer of the abscission-accelerating plant hormone and a plant growth regulator that exhibits multiple physiological effects, including inducing plant dormancy, inhibiting seed germination and plant growth, and stimulating stomatal closure.
