4-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoic acid

Description:
4-Methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoic acid, identified by its CAS number 54043-71-9, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups and structural features. It contains a methoxy group (-OCH3), which contributes to its solubility in organic solvents and influences its reactivity. The presence of a ketone group (C=O) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) indicates that it can participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and acid-base reactions. The two methyl groups attached to the carbon backbone enhance its hydrophobic character, affecting its physical properties like boiling and melting points. This compound is likely to be a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate stability under standard conditions. Its unique structure suggests potential applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in chemical manufacturing. However, specific safety and handling guidelines should be followed, as with any chemical substance, to mitigate risks associated with its use.
