Propanoic acid, 3-methoxy-2-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:
Propanoic acid, 3-methoxy-2-methyl-, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl 3-methoxy-2-methylpropanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a propanoic acid backbone with a methoxy group and a methyl group attached to the second and third carbon atoms, respectively. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a fruity odor, which is common among esters. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the polar methoxy group. The compound is often used in the synthesis of various organic materials and may serve as a flavoring agent or fragrance in the food and cosmetic industries. Its chemical properties include reactivity typical of esters, such as hydrolysis in the presence of acids or bases, leading to the formation of the corresponding acid and alcohol.
