Propanedioic acid, hydroxymethyl-, monomethyl ester, (S)-

Description:
Propanedioic acid, hydroxymethyl-, monomethyl ester, (S)-, commonly known as (S)-2-hydroxy-1,2-propanedicarboxylic acid monomethyl ester, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a propanedioic acid backbone with a hydroxymethyl group and a methyl ester functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. It is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups that can engage in hydrogen bonding. The (S)- configuration indicates that it is a chiral molecule, which may exhibit specific optical activity. This compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or other fine chemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of both ester and acid functionalities, allowing for various chemical transformations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
