Product Information

• Name: Ethyl 3-ethoxy-2-propenoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl 3-ethoxy-2-propenoate is an organic compound that belongs to the group of isobutyrates. It is a colorless liquid that can be obtained by reacting n-propyl and ethyl esters in the presence of a strong acid catalyst. This reaction product can be hydrolyzed to form acetone and ethanol. The mechanism of this reaction involves nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl carbon atom. This process generates an iminium ion, which reacts with water to form an acidic hydrolysis product. Ethyl 3-ethoxy-2-propenoate is synthesized by reacting azides or halides with cytidine deaminase under acidic conditions.
