CAS 17639-93-9: Methyl 2-chloropropionate

Description: Methyl 2-chloropropionate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, specifically derived from propionic acid and methanol. It has a molecular formula of C4H7ClO2 and features a chlorine atom attached to the second carbon of the propionate chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. Methyl 2-chloropropionate is primarily used in organic synthesis, serving as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken to avoid skin and eye contact. Additionally, it is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC), which can contribute to air pollution and should be managed accordingly in laboratory and industrial settings.
