Propanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxy-, methyl ester, (2R)-

Description:

Propanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxy-, methyl ester, (2R)-, also known as methyl 2,3-dihydroxypropanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from propanoic acid. This compound features two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to the second and third carbon atoms of the propanoic acid backbone, which contributes to its solubility in polar solvents and its potential for hydrogen bonding. The (2R) designation indicates the specific stereochemistry at the chiral center, which can influence its biological activity and reactivity. Typically, this compound appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a relatively low boiling point, making it volatile. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and potentially in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other functional groups in a reaction mixture.
