Description:Cyanopropionic acid methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 4107-62-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a cyano group (-CN) and an ester functional group (-COO-) within its molecular structure. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. Cyanopropionic acid methyl ester is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the cyano group, which can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions, making it a valuable building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate protective equipment should be used to minimize exposure.
