Methyl 3-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]-2-methylpropanoate

Description:

Methyl 3-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]-2-methylpropanoate, with the CAS number 85099-03-2, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is typical of methyl esters. This compound features a thioether group due to the presence of a hydroxyethyl-thio substituent, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, making it potentially useful in fragrance applications. The presence of both hydroxy and thio groups suggests that it may exhibit hydrogen bonding capabilities, influencing its solubility and reactivity. Methyl 3-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]-2-methylpropanoate is likely soluble in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic methyl and propanoate components. Its chemical structure indicates potential applications in the synthesis of other organic compounds, as well as in the formulation of specialty chemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
