(+)-Methyl 2-chloropropionate

Description:
(+)-Methyl 2-chloropropionate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, specifically a methyl ester derived from 2-chloropropionic acid. It is a chiral molecule, meaning it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (+) designation indicating the specific optical activity of this isomer. The compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but less soluble in water. Its chemical structure includes a chlorine atom attached to the second carbon of the propionate chain, which influences its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. This compound is often utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in various chemical reactions. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
