CAS 96-35-5

Methyl glycolate

Description:

Methyl glycolate, with the CAS number 96-35-5, is an ester formed from glycolic acid and methanol. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. Methyl glycolate is known for its moderate volatility and is soluble in water, as well as in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The substance has a relatively low boiling point and a flash point that indicates it is flammable under certain conditions. Methyl glycolate is primarily used as a solvent in various applications, including coatings, adhesives, and cleaning products, due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. Its chemical structure features a hydroxyl group and an ester functional group, contributing to its reactivity and utility in organic synthesis. Safety precautions should be observed when handling methyl glycolate, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes, and inhalation of vapors should be avoided.

Methyl glycolate

CAS: 96-35-5

Methyl glycolate is a pharmacological agent that has a variety of physiological effects. It is used as an antioxidant and a co-substrate for the conversion of malonic acid to succinic acid in the Krebs cycle. Methyl glycolate has been shown to inhibit oxidation catalysts and can be used as an anti-inflammatory agent. It also has been shown to be effective in treating alopecia areata, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. Methyl glycolate is also effective against infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and meningitis, as well as autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. This drug inhibits the immune system by binding with immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in the blood stream, preventing phagocytosis by macrophages.
