2-Pentenedioic acid, dimethyl ester, (2E)-

Description:

2-Pentenedioic acid, dimethyl ester, (2E)-, also known as dimethyl 2-pentenedioate, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a pentenedioic acid backbone with two ester functional groups. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of polar ester groups. The (2E) designation indicates the configuration of the double bond, which plays a crucial role in its reactivity and potential applications. This compound can participate in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and esterification, making it valuable in the synthesis of polymers, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability and integrity.
