1,2,2-Butanetricarboxylic acid, 4-methoxy-, triethyl ester

Description:

1,2,2-Butanetricarboxylic acid, 4-methoxy-, triethyl ester, commonly referred to as a triethyl ester of a methoxy-substituted tricarboxylic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups and multiple carboxylic acid moieties. This compound typically exhibits a high degree of polarity due to the presence of the carboxylic acid groups, which can influence its solubility in polar solvents. The methoxy group contributes to its overall hydrophobic character while also providing potential sites for hydrogen bonding. As an ester, it is likely to have a fruity or sweet odor, which is common among many esters. The presence of multiple carboxylic acid groups suggests that it may participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and hydrolysis. Additionally, the triethyl ester form indicates that it may be used in applications such as solvents, plasticizers, or as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
