Propanoic acid, 2-mercapto-, methyl ester

Description:
Propanoic acid, 2-mercapto-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 53907-46-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a propanoic acid moiety and a mercapto group. This compound features a methyl ester functional group, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the mercapto group (-SH) imparts thiol-like characteristics, making it prone to oxidation and capable of forming disulfide bonds. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the ester and thiol functionalities. It may be used in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, or as a flavoring agent due to its unique odor profile. Safety considerations include handling precautions due to its potential irritant properties and the need for proper storage to prevent degradation.
