Description:
Methyl 3-aminopropanoate, with the CAS number 4138-35-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of amino esters. It features a methyl ester functional group and an amino group attached to a three-carbon propanoate chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of both hydrophilic amino and ester groups. Methyl 3-aminopropanoate is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the amino group, which can participate in nucleophilic reactions, while the ester group can undergo hydrolysis or transesterification.
