(Z)-2-methylbut-2-enoate

Description:
(Z)-2-methylbut-2-enoate, also known as (Z)-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid methyl ester, is an organic compound characterized by its double bond configuration and ester functional group. It features a five-carbon chain with a methyl group attached to the second carbon and a double bond between the second and third carbons, which is in the Z (cis) configuration. This configuration influences its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility. The compound is typically a colorless liquid with a fruity odor, making it potentially useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. Its reactivity is largely attributed to the presence of the double bond, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and addition reactions. As an ester, it can also undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, leading to the formation of the corresponding acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
