3-(Benzyloxy)-2-methylpropanoic acid

CAS: 56850-57-8

3-(Benzyloxy)-2-methylpropanoic acid is a benzyloxymethyl derivative that reacts with formic acid to produce a hydroxypropionitrile. It is used in the industrial production of formic acid and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. 3-(Benzyloxy)-2-methylpropanoic acid can be reduced by sodium borohydride to give cyclopropane carboxylic acid, which can then be oxidized to cyclohexanone. The reduction reaction also results in debenzylation of the molecule, with subsequent preparation methods involving esterification or hydrolysis.
