1,4-Dimethyl (2Z)-2-amino-2-butenedioate

Description:

1,4-Dimethyl (2Z)-2-amino-2-butenedioate, with the CAS number 7542-94-1, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a butenedioate backbone with two methyl groups and an amino group. This compound typically appears as a crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the amino group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The (2Z) configuration indicates that the compound has a specific geometric arrangement around the double bond, influencing its reactivity and interaction with other molecules. It may exhibit properties typical of both amino acids and esters, making it of interest in various chemical synthesis and biological applications. The presence of the dimethyl substituents can affect its steric properties and reactivity, potentially influencing its role in biochemical pathways or as a synthetic intermediate. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as it may pose health risks if not managed properly.
