Methyl (αR)-α-hydroxycyclopropanepropanoate

Description:
Methyl (αR)-α-hydroxycyclopropanepropanoate is an organic compound characterized by its cyclopropane structure, which features a hydroxyl group and an ester functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, indicative of its ester nature. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit limited solubility in water due to the presence of the hydrophobic cyclopropane ring. The α-hydroxy group contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in organic synthesis and a candidate for various chemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation. The stereochemistry indicated by the (αR) designation suggests specific spatial arrangements of atoms, which can influence the compound's biological activity and interaction with other molecules. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted, as it may pose health risks if inhaled, ingested, or in contact with skin. Overall, Methyl (αR)-α-hydroxycyclopropanepropanoate is of interest in both synthetic organic chemistry and potential applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals.
