Description

Methyl trans-3-methoxy acrylate is a reactive monocarboxylic acid. It is used in the synthesis of other compounds, such as polymers and pharmaceuticals. Methyl trans-3-methoxy acrylate reacts with hydrogen chloride to form methyl 3-chloroacrylate and hydrochloric acid, and with trimethyl borate to form methyl 3-bromoacrylate. The reaction mechanism for the formation of methyl 3-bromoacrylate is similar to that for the formation of methyl 3-chloroacrylate. The reaction can be carried out in a steel or glass vessel equipped with a magnetic stirring device and equipped with an electric heating mantle or flame. The activation energies for these reactions are relatively high at 43 kcal/mol (for the metathesis reaction) and 44 kcal/mol (for the reaction with trimethyl borate). This product has been shown to react with propionate
