CAS 68843-72-1

4-Pentenoic acid, 2-amino-, ethyl ester

Description:

4-Pentenoic acid, 2-amino-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 68843-72-1, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a pentenoic acid backbone with an amino group and an ethyl ester functional group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both amines and carboxylic acids, such as potential basicity due to the amino group and acidity from the carboxylic acid moiety. It is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its specific form and purity. The presence of the double bond in the pentenoic acid structure may impart reactivity, particularly in addition reactions or polymerization processes. Additionally, the ethyl ester group suggests that it may have applications in organic synthesis or as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as compounds with amino and carboxylic acid functionalities can exhibit varying degrees of toxicity and reactivity.

Ethyl 2-aminopent-4-enoate

CAS: 68843-72-1

Ethyl 2-aminopent-4-enoate is an ester of ethyl alcohol and aminopentanoic acid. It has been shown to be a moderate inhibitor of the enzyme esterase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of esters. The inhibition of this enzyme by ethyl 2-aminopent-4-enoate leads to the accumulation of triglycerides in cells.
