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

Description:
Propanedioic acid, (4-nitrophenyl)-, dimethyl ester, commonly known as dimethyl 4-nitrophenylmalonate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups and a nitrophenyl substituent. It features a malonate backbone, which consists of two carboxylate groups flanking a central carbon chain, with both carboxyl groups esterified with methyl groups. The presence of the 4-nitrophenyl group introduces an electron-withdrawing nitro group, which can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity. This compound is typically a yellow crystalline solid, exhibiting moderate solubility in organic solvents. It is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its ability to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, the nitro group can serve as a site for further functionalization, making it a versatile intermediate in synthetic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted, as compounds containing nitro groups can pose health risks and require careful handling.
