Propanedioic acid, (4-chlorophenyl)-, dimethyl ester

Description:

Propanedioic acid, (4-chlorophenyl)-, dimethyl ester, also known as dimethyl 4-chlorophenylmalonate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups and a chlorinated aromatic ring. It features a propanedioic acid backbone, which is a dicarboxylic acid derivative, with two methyl ester groups attached to the carboxylic acid moieties. The presence of the 4-chlorophenyl group introduces a chlorine atom at the para position of the phenyl ring, which can influence the compound's reactivity and physical properties, such as solubility and boiling point. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its ability to act as a building block in the formation of more complex molecules. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
