1,3-Benzodioxole-5-acetic acid, methyl ester

Description:

1,3-Benzodioxole-5-acetic acid, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 326-59-0, is an organic compound characterized by its unique bicyclic structure, which includes a benzodioxole moiety and an acetic acid ester functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the dioxole ring contributes to its aromatic properties, while the ester functionality can participate in various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis and transesterification. This compound is of interest in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its biological activity and potential applications are subjects of ongoing research, particularly in the fields of medicinal chemistry and material science. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.

Controlled Product

CAS: 326-59-0

1,3-Benzodioxole-5-acetic acid methyl ester is a lignan synthesized by the condensation of podophyllotoxin with acetone in the presence of an acid catalyst. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. It is also stable in acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran, which are common solvents used in organic chemistry. 1,3-Benzodioxole-5-acetic acid methyl ester is a regioselective inhibitor of 5α→5β conversion. This inhibition leads to a decrease in the production of diene metabolites that may be carcinogenic, as well as a decrease in the production of podophyllotoxin and its derivatives (podophyllum alkaloids).
