2-Ethyl-4-methoxybutanoic acid

Description:
2-Ethyl-4-methoxybutanoic acid is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group, which imparts acidic properties. It features a butanoic acid backbone with an ethyl group at the second carbon and a methoxy group at the fourth carbon, contributing to its unique structure and reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the polar carboxylic acid group. The methoxy group enhances its lipophilicity, making it useful in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and potentially in agrochemical formulations. Additionally, its molecular structure may influence its boiling point, melting point, and other physical properties, which are essential for determining its behavior in chemical reactions and applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
