2-Propenoic acid, 3-(3-methylphenyl)-, methyl ester

Description:
2-Propenoic acid, 3-(3-methylphenyl)-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 3-(3-methylphenyl)acrylate, is an organic compound characterized by its acrylate structure, which features a vinyl group (–C=C–) and an ester functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the 3-methylphenyl group contributes to its aromatic characteristics, influencing its reactivity and potential applications. Methyl 3-(3-methylphenyl)acrylate is often utilized in polymer chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of various copolymers and as a monomer in the production of coatings, adhesives, and other materials due to its ability to undergo free radical polymerization. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause skin and eye irritation.
