Product Information
Name:4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-pent-2-ynoic acid
Brand:Biosynth
Description:4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-pent-2-ynoic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH(CH)COH. It is a methyl ester of propiolic acid. 4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-pent-2-ynoic acid can be synthesized from propiolic acid by reacting it with copper chloride and iodides in the presence of a catalytic amount of concentrated sulfuric acid. This reaction affords the methyl ester in high yield. The synthesis of 4-hydroxypropionic acid is analogous to that of acrylic acid, which also yields a methyl ester on chlorination. 4HMP has been used as an intermediate in the production of vitamin A by carbonylation, and as a precursor to propionic acid and its derivatives. 4HMP can also be used as an intermediate for making other chemicals such as dyes, pharmaceuticals, and polymers.
