CAS 5837-72-9: Fumaraldehydicacidmethylester; 95%
Description:Fumaraldehydic acid methyl ester, with the CAS number 5837-72-9, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from fumaric acid and methanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. Fumaraldehydic acid methyl ester is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is attributed to the presence of both the ester and the double bond in the fumarate structure, making it a useful building block in chemical reactions, such as Michael additions and polymerizations. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
