CAS 137682-89-4: ethyl 1-hydroxycyclopropanecarboxylate
Description:Ethyl 1-hydroxycyclopropanecarboxylate is an organic compound characterized by its unique cyclopropane structure, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and properties. This compound features a carboxylate functional group and a hydroxyl group, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents, while the ethyl ester moiety provides additional reactivity, particularly in esterification and transesterification reactions. Ethyl 1-hydroxycyclopropanecarboxylate can participate in various chemical transformations, including nucleophilic substitutions and cycloadditions, making it valuable in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Its relatively low molecular weight and specific functional groups suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, as with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
