4-Pentenamide, N-methoxy-N-methyl-

Description:

4-Pentenamide, N-methoxy-N-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its amide functional group, which is derived from pentenoic acid. This compound features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the nitrogen atom of the amide, contributing to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the double bond in the pentene structure imparts reactivity, making it susceptible to various chemical reactions, such as addition reactions. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate solubility in water due to the polar nature of the amide and methoxy groups. Its applications may include use as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
