Methyl 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate
CAS:<p>Methyl 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate is a tautomer of the flavin mononucleotide. It has been shown to have mechanistic and metabolic properties that are similar to those of other flavins. Methyl 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate can be obtained by UV irradiation of methyl 2,4-dimethoxyphenylacetate or by irradiating methyl 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenylacetate with UV light. This compound can be used as a flavin analogue for the study of flavin compounds in nature. Methyl 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate was also used in a method to synthesize carbanions by reacting with alkoxycarbonyl groups.</p>Formula:C10H12O3Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:180.2 g/mol
