Description:
Ethyl (3-methoxyphenyl)(oxo)acetate, with the CAS number 86358-29-4, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from acetic acid and an aromatic moiety. This compound features a methoxy group (-OCH₃) attached to a phenyl ring, contributing to its aromatic properties and influencing its reactivity and solubility. The presence of the oxo group (C=O) indicates that it has ketone characteristics, which can participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic additions. Ethyl (3-methoxyphenyl)(oxo)acetate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, making it potentially useful in flavor and fragrance applications. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water reflects its hydrophobic nature, which is common for many esters.
