methyl 3-(benzyloxy)propanoate

Description:
Methyl 3-(benzyloxy)propanoate, with the CAS number 4126-60-7, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a methyl ester derived from 3-(benzyloxy)propanoic acid. The presence of the benzyloxy group contributes to its aromatic characteristics, enhancing its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic component. Methyl 3-(benzyloxy)propanoate can be synthesized through esterification reactions, often involving the reaction of benzyloxypropanoic acid with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. This compound is of interest in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or other fine chemicals. As with many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, observing appropriate safety protocols to mitigate risks associated with flammability and potential toxicity.
