2-Propenoic acid, 3-(3-chlorophenyl)-, methyl ester

Description:

2-Propenoic acid, 3-(3-chlorophenyl)-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 3-(3-chlorophenyl)acrylate, is an organic compound characterized by its acrylate structure, which features a vinyl group (2-propenoic acid) and a chlorophenyl substituent. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its reactivity due to the presence of the double bond in the acrylate moiety, making it useful in polymerization reactions. It has a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. The presence of the chlorophenyl group can impart specific chemical properties, such as increased lipophilicity and potential biological activity. This compound is often utilized in the synthesis of various polymers and copolymers, as well as in the production of specialty chemicals. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose risks such as skin and eye irritation.
