2-Propenoic acid, 2-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:
2-Propenoic acid, 2-methoxy-, methyl ester, commonly known as methoxy methyl acrylate, is an organic compound characterized by its acrylate structure, which features a vinyl group and an ester functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic acrylate odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various applications, including as a monomer in polymer synthesis and in the formulation of coatings, adhesives, and sealants. The compound is known for its ability to undergo polymerization, particularly through free radical mechanisms, which is a key property for its use in producing polymers with desirable physical and chemical properties. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause skin and eye irritation. Overall, 2-propenoic acid, 2-methoxy-, methyl ester is valued in industrial applications for its reactivity and versatility.
