:propoxyacetic acid
Description:
Propoxyacetic acid, with the CAS number 54497-00-6, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an ether and a carboxylic acid functional group. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and is soluble in water, which is typical for compounds containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. The structure of propoxyacetic acid includes a propoxy group (derived from propanol) attached to an acetic acid moiety, which contributes to its unique properties. This compound is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may serve as a solvent or a reagent in various chemical reactions. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the carboxylic acid group, allowing it to participate in esterification and other acid-base reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to skin and eyes. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
