Propanoic acid, 2-fluoro-, methyl ester

Description:

Propanoic acid, 2-fluoro-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2-fluoropropanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from propanoic acid and methanol, with a fluorine atom attached to the second carbon of the propanoic acid chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of both the ester and fluorine functional groups. The fluorine atom can influence the compound's reactivity and physical properties, such as boiling point and stability. Propanoic acid derivatives, including this methyl ester, are often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it may be irritating to the skin and eyes, and appropriate handling precautions should be taken. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the presence of the fluorine atom, which can enhance its electrophilic character in various chemical reactions.
