Description

Methyl 2-benzamidoacetate is an organic compound that has been used as a substrate molecule for the kinetic studies of the enolate ion. The chloride anion and the carbonyl group in this molecule are ideal for use in kinetic studies. A solution of methyl 2-benzamidoacetate and benzoic acid was subjected to asymmetric synthesis, which led to the formation of two different reaction products with different reactivity. When methyl ethyl ketone is added to this solution, it will form a benzoyl chloride in addition to methyl 2-benzamidoacetate.
Methyl 2-benzamidoacetate has also been shown to have antimicrobial properties when tested against bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. It is not active against fungi or viruses, however.
