3-tert-butoxypropanoic acid

Description:
3-tert-Butoxypropanoic acid is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and a tert-butoxy substituent. It features a three-carbon propanoic acid backbone, with a tert-butoxy group attached to the third carbon. This structure imparts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic characteristics, making it useful in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The presence of the carboxylic acid group allows for potential reactivity in esterification and other organic reactions. 3-tert-Butoxypropanoic acid is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a moderate boiling point. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to the bulky tert-butoxy group. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to skin and eyes. Overall, its unique structure and properties make it a valuable compound in chemical synthesis and industrial applications.
