Propanoic acid, 2-nitro-, ethyl ester

Description:

Propanoic acid, 2-nitro-, ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 2531-80-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from propanoic acid and 2-nitro-1-ethanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl group. The presence of the nitro group introduces polar characteristics, influencing its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. Propanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in chemical reactions. The compound may exhibit moderate toxicity, necessitating careful handling and storage. Its chemical structure allows for participation in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable building block in synthetic organic chemistry. As with many nitro compounds, it may also be subject to regulations regarding its use and disposal due to environmental and health considerations.
