methyl (2S)-aziridine-2-carboxylate

Description:
Methyl (2S)-aziridine-2-carboxylate is a chemical compound characterized by its aziridine ring, which is a three-membered cyclic amine. The presence of the carboxylate group contributes to its reactivity and solubility in polar solvents. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It has a chiral center, which means it can exist in two enantiomeric forms, with the (2S) configuration being one of them. Methyl (2S)-aziridine-2-carboxylate is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its ability to undergo nucleophilic substitutions and other transformations. Its reactivity is influenced by the strain in the aziridine ring, making it a valuable intermediate in synthetic chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
