CAS 2916-76-9

Acetic acid, 2-(trimethylsilyl)-, methyl ester

Description:

Acetic acid, 2-(trimethylsilyl)-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 2916-76-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an acetic acid moiety and a trimethylsilyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless liquid and is known for its distinctive fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents, such as ether and alcohol, but has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the trimethylsilyl group. The presence of the trimethylsilyl group enhances the compound's stability and volatility, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a protective group in the derivatization of alcohols and carboxylic acids. Additionally, it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
