Description

Ethyl crotonate is an organic compound that is commercially available as a colorless liquid. It has a high boiling point and low volatility, which makes it difficult to remove from the reaction solution during synthesis. Ethyl crotonate is used in the synthesis of glycol ethers and also as a reactive intermediate in diazonium salt reactions. The chemical structure of ethyl crotonate consists of an ethylene diamine backbone with an hydroxyl group on the terminal carbon atom and a trifluoroacetic acid group on the other terminal carbon atom. Trifluoroacetic acid reacts with ethyl crotonate to form ethyl trifluoroacetate, which can be used for the preparation of fatty acids.
