Description:
Methyl 2-oxo-2-(m-tolyl)acetate, with the CAS number 136125-68-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a ketone moiety. It features a methyl ester derived from a substituted acetic acid, where the acetic acid is further substituted with a m-tolyl group, which is a toluene derivative with a methyl group in the meta position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its pleasant, sweet aroma, making it potentially useful in flavor and fragrance applications. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions due to the presence of the carbonyl group. Methyl 2-oxo-2-(m-tolyl)acetate may also exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents, while its stability can be influenced by factors such as temperature and the presence of moisture. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
