Cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, 3-formyl-2,2-dimethyl-, ethyl ester

Description:

Cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, 3-formyl-2,2-dimethyl-, ethyl ester, with CAS number 66692-75-9, is an organic compound characterized by its unique cyclopropane ring structure, which contributes to its reactivity and stability. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group and an ester linkage, indicating it can undergo hydrolysis and transesterification reactions. The presence of a formyl group (aldehyde) at the 3-position and two methyl groups at the 2-position enhances its steric properties and influences its chemical behavior. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate polarity due to the carboxylic acid and ester functionalities, which can affect their solubility in various solvents. Additionally, the cyclopropane ring can impart strain, making the compound reactive under certain conditions. This substance may be of interest in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, due to its potential as a building block for more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
