Propanoic acid, 2-iodo-, ethyl ester

Description:
Propanoic acid, 2-iodo-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 2-iodopropanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from propanoic acid and ethanol. It features a propanoic acid backbone with an iodine atom substituted at the second carbon position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the ester group. The presence of the iodine atom can impart unique reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in pharmaceutical research. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper storage conditions are also essential to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
