2-Butenoic acid, 2-bromo-, methyl ester

Description:
2-Butenoic acid, 2-bromo-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2-bromo-2-butenoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a bromine atom attached to the second carbon of a butenoic acid chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the bromine atom enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. The compound can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions and is often utilized in the synthesis of more complex molecules in medicinal chemistry and materials science. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to its reactivity and potential toxicity. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to mitigate environmental impact.
