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

Description:
Propanoic acid, 3-mercapto-2-methyl-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 4131-76-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a propanoic acid moiety with a methyl ester functional group and a mercapto group. This compound features a three-carbon chain with a carboxylic acid group that has been esterified with methanol, resulting in a methyl ester. The presence of the mercapto (-SH) group introduces thiol characteristics, which can impart unique reactivity and properties, such as the ability to form disulfide bonds and participate in redox reactions. The methyl group at the second carbon adds to the compound's complexity and can influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility. Generally, compounds of this nature may exhibit moderate volatility and can be soluble in organic solvents. They are often used in various applications, including as intermediates in organic synthesis, in the production of fragrances, and in the formulation of agricultural chemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.
