:2-methoxybutanoic acid
Description:
2-Methoxybutanoic acid, with the CAS number 56674-69-2, is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and a methoxy group attached to a butanoic acid backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of both the hydrophilic carboxylic acid and methoxy groups. Its molecular structure includes a four-carbon chain with a methoxy group (-OCH₃) positioned on the second carbon, which influences its reactivity and physical properties. 2-Methoxybutanoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit mild acidity, typical of carboxylic acids, and can be involved in hydrogen bonding, affecting its boiling and melting points. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
