Ethanedioic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl methyl ester

Description:
Ethanedioic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl methyl ester, also known as dimethyl 1,1-dimethyl-ethyl ester of oxalic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from ethanedioic acid (oxalic acid). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity. The presence of the ester group contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to hydrolysis under acidic or basic conditions. This compound may be used in various applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and in the production of other chemical intermediates. Its chemical structure includes two methyl groups and a tert-butyl group, which influence its physical properties and reactivity. Safety data indicates that, like many organic esters, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects and environmental considerations. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety and stability.
