Propanedioic acid, methyl-, monoethyl ester, potassium salt

Description:
Propanedioic acid, methyl-, monoethyl ester, potassium salt, commonly referred to as a potassium salt of a diester, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a propanedioic acid backbone with methyl and ethyl ester groups. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the potassium ion, which enhances its solubility compared to its neutral counterparts. It is often used in various applications, including as a food additive, in pharmaceuticals, and in agricultural formulations due to its potential as a pH regulator or buffering agent. The presence of both ester and carboxyl functional groups suggests that it may exhibit properties such as acidity and reactivity with nucleophiles. Additionally, the compound may have implications in metabolic pathways and could serve as a precursor in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
