Ref. 3D-FM11167

Product Information

• Name: Methyl methoxyacetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl methoxyacetate is an oxidation catalyst that is used in organic synthesis for the conversion of alcohols, aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding acids. It can be used as a solid catalyst in many chemical reactions, such as the reaction of methyl ethyl ketone with phosphotungstic acid, hydrochloric acid, and acidic hydroxyl group. Methyl methoxyacetate is also used to produce acetic acid from methanol by the corynebacterium glutamicum bacteria. The mechanism of this reaction involves the formation of hydrogen gas and methyl acetate. Methyl methoxyacetate can also be used as a radiation-sensitive test sample for kinetic energy measurements.END>
