methyl 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propanoate

Description:

Methyl 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propanoate, with the CAS number 23844-56-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a methyl ester derived from a propanoic acid, where the propanoate moiety is substituted with a 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its moderate volatility. It is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic component. The presence of the chloro and methyl groups on the aromatic ring can influence its reactivity and biological activity, making it of interest in various chemical applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals or pharmaceuticals. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability.
