Butanoic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-, methyl ester

Description:
Butanoic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-, methyl ester, identified by CAS number 89635-70-1, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of multiple carbonyl groups. This compound features a butanoic acid backbone, which is a four-carbon straight-chain fatty acid, modified by the presence of two methyl groups at the 3-position and two keto groups at the 2 and 4 positions. The methyl ester indicates that the carboxylic acid has been esterified with methanol, resulting in a compound that is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate solubility in water due to the presence of polar functional groups. The compound may have applications in organic synthesis, as well as in the production of various chemical intermediates. Its reactivity is influenced by the carbonyl groups, which can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions, making it a versatile building block in organic chemistry.
