2-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid

Description:

2-Methyl-2-pentenoic acid, also known as 2-methylpent-2-enoic acid, is an unsaturated carboxylic acid characterized by its double bond and branched structure. It features a five-carbon chain with a methyl group attached to the second carbon and a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at one end. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the polar carboxylic acid group. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis and polymer production. Additionally, 2-methyl-2-pentenoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and polymerization. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Overall, its unique structure and reactivity make it significant in both industrial and laboratory settings.
