Butanedioic acid, methylene-, 1-ethyl ester

Description:
Butanedioic acid, methylene-, 1-ethyl ester, commonly known as ethyl methylene succinate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from butanedioic acid (succinic acid) and ethanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity. Ethyl methylene succinate is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of polymers and other chemical compounds. Its structure features a butanedioic acid backbone with an ethyl group attached to one of the ester positions, which influences its reactivity and physical properties. The compound is generally stable under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of the corresponding acid and alcohol. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
