Ethyl trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate

Description:
Ethyl trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate is an organic compound characterized by its cyclopropane structure, which features a carboxylate functional group and a phenyl substituent. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, making it useful in various applications, including as a flavoring agent or in organic synthesis. Its molecular structure includes an ethyl ester group, contributing to its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. Ethyl trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate exhibits moderate stability under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. The compound's unique cyclopropane ring imparts distinctive strain and reactivity, making it a valuable intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, it may exhibit specific optical activity due to the presence of chiral centers, which can be significant in the development of pharmaceuticals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
