2-Propenoyl chloride, 2-methyl-

Description:
2-Propenoyl chloride, 2-methyl-, also known as methacryloyl chloride, is an organic compound characterized by its reactive acyl chloride functional group attached to a methacrylic backbone. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, typical of acyl chlorides. This compound is highly reactive, particularly with water, alcohols, and amines, leading to the formation of corresponding acids or esters. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform. Due to its reactivity, 2-propenoyl chloride is commonly used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of polymers and as an intermediate in the manufacture of various chemical compounds. Safety precautions are essential when handling this substance, as it can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from moisture is also crucial to prevent hydrolysis and degradation.
