ethyl 4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate

Description:
Ethyl 4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate is an organic compound characterized by its distinctive structure, which includes a thiophene ring substituted with a methyl group and an ethyl ester functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic thiophene ring. Ethyl 4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate is known for its applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the carboxylate group, which can participate in esterification and other chemical reactions. Additionally, the thiophene moiety contributes to its electronic properties, making it useful in materials science and as a building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
