2-Propenoic acid, 3-[2-(1-methylethoxy)phenyl]-

Description:

2-Propenoic acid, 3-[2-(1-methylethoxy)phenyl]- is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a propenoic acid moiety and a substituted phenyl group. This compound features a vinyl group (the propenoic acid part) that makes it reactive, particularly in polymerization reactions. The presence of the 1-methylethoxy group on the phenyl ring contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, potentially influencing its solubility in organic solvents. The compound is likely to exhibit typical properties of acrylic acids, such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. It may also possess functional properties that allow it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and copolymerization. Due to its structural features, it may find applications in the production of polymers, coatings, and other materials in the chemical industry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards associated with this compound, as it may be irritant or toxic under certain conditions.
