Ethyl 3-methoxypropanoate

Description:
Ethyl 3-methoxypropanoate, with the CAS number 10606-42-5, is an ester that is commonly used in organic synthesis and as a flavoring agent. It is characterized by its fruity odor, which makes it appealing in the food and fragrance industries. The molecular structure consists of an ethyl group attached to a propanoate backbone, with a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the third carbon position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Ethyl 3-methoxypropanoate exhibits moderate volatility and can be synthesized through the esterification of 3-methoxypropanoic acid with ethanol. Its applications extend beyond flavoring, as it can also serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
