2-Bromo-3-methoxypropanoic acid

Description:
2-Bromo-3-methoxypropanoic acid is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom, a methoxy group, and a carboxylic acid functional group. Its molecular structure features a three-carbon backbone, with the bromine substituent located at the second carbon and the methoxy group (-OCH3) at the third carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the carboxylic acid group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound may exhibit moderate to high reactivity due to the presence of the bromine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions.
