Ref. 3D-FM32018

Product Information

• Name: Methyl 4-chlorobutyrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 4-chlorobutyrate is a chemical that has been used to synthesize other compounds. It is a colorless, oily liquid with a pungent odor. Methyl 4-chlorobutyrate is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, ethers, and acetone. The chemical's asymmetric synthesis was first reported by the group of William S. Knowles in 1991. This reaction also requires phosphotungstic acid as a catalyst and an acidic solution as the solvent. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis can be catalyzed by methyl 4-chlorobutyrate in the presence of covidin-19 pandemic (Cov-19). Preparative methods for this reaction involve distillation or chromatography on silica gel or alumina columns with chloroform or methanol as eluant. The chloride ion is formed when methyl 4-chlorobutyrate reacts with water at high
