Propanoic acid, 3-methoxy-2-methyl-

Description:
Propanoic acid, 3-methoxy-2-methyl- (CAS 10500-24-0) is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group, which imparts acidic properties. This compound features a propanoic acid backbone with a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the second and third carbon atoms, respectively. The presence of these substituents influences its physical and chemical properties, such as solubility and boiling point. Typically, compounds of this nature are polar due to the carboxylic acid group, allowing for hydrogen bonding, which enhances their solubility in polar solvents like water. Additionally, the methoxy and methyl groups can affect the compound's reactivity and steric hindrance, potentially influencing its behavior in chemical reactions. Propanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in various applications, including as intermediates in organic synthesis, flavoring agents, and in the production of pharmaceuticals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
