4-Pentynoic acid,2-amino-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester

Description:

4-Pentynoic acid, 2-amino-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, identified by the CAS number 754141-33-8, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure that includes a pentynoic acid backbone with an amino group and a tert-butyl ester functional group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both carboxylic acids and amines, such as potential acidity and basicity, which can influence its reactivity in various chemical reactions. The presence of the alkyne functional group (due to the pentynoic acid structure) suggests that it may participate in reactions typical of alkynes, such as nucleophilic additions or cycloadditions. Additionally, the tert-butyl ester moiety can enhance the compound's lipophilicity, potentially affecting its solubility in organic solvents. Its applications may span across fields such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or materials science, where it could serve as an intermediate or a building block for more complex molecules. As with many organic compounds, safety and handling precautions should be observed due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
