2-Propynoic acid, phenylmethyl ester

Description:

2-Propynoic acid, phenylmethyl ester, also known as phenylmethyl 2-propynoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from 2-propynoic acid and benzyl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the propyne moiety imparts unique reactivity, particularly in addition reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. Its chemical structure includes a triple bond between the first two carbon atoms of the propynoic acid, contributing to its unsaturation and potential for further chemical transformations. Additionally, the compound may exhibit moderate toxicity, necessitating appropriate safety precautions during handling. As with many esters, it may also undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, reverting to its parent acid and alcohol under certain conditions. Overall, 2-propynoic acid, phenylmethyl ester serves as an important building block in various chemical applications.

Benzyl propiolate

CAS: 14447-01-9

Benzyl propiolate is a molecule that is structurally related to propiolic acid. It has been shown to act as an adrenergic receptor agonist, which leads to platelet aggregation and thrombocytopenia. Benzyl propiolate also forms methyl esters with alcohols and is synthesized by methyl esterification of benzyl alcohol and propionic acid. This compound is electron deficient, which allows it to react with electron-rich substances, such as thromboplastin in the reaction solution for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
