CAS 62021-36-7

Cyclopropanepropanoic acid, ethyl ester

Description:

Cyclopropanepropanoic acid, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 62021-36-7, is an organic compound characterized by its unique cyclopropane ring structure fused with a propanoic acid moiety and an ethyl ester functional group. This compound typically exhibits a low to moderate boiling point and is likely to be a colorless liquid at room temperature. Its structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in undergoing various chemical transformations such as esterification and hydrolysis. The presence of the cyclopropane ring can impart strain, influencing its stability and reactivity compared to more saturated hydrocarbons. Additionally, cyclopropane derivatives often exhibit interesting properties in terms of their interactions with biological systems, making them of interest in medicinal chemistry. The compound may also have applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential hazards, as with any chemical substance.
