Butanoic acid, 4-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:

Butanoic acid, 4-methoxy-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 4-methoxybutanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a butanoic acid backbone with a methoxy group attached to the fourth carbon, contributing to its unique properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it appealing for use in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions in its molecular structure. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its boiling point and melting point are influenced by the molecular interactions and the presence of the methoxy group. As with many esters, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including transesterification and esterification, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.

Methyl 4-methoxybutanoate is a polymorphic amine that has been shown to react with sodium salts, such as sodium methoxide, to form a new class of compounds known as oxetanes. The reaction rate is enhanced by the presence of gamma-valerolactone and the oxetane itself. It has been shown that Methyl 4-methoxybutanoate reacts with organometallic reagents to form enantiopure compounds. The kinetic profile of this compound is not yet well understood.
