Methyl 2-(o-tolyl)acetate is a methylester that is used in organic chemistry as a pharmacophore. It is synthesized by the acylation reaction of chlorobenzene and formyl chloride in the presence of methanol. The product can be hydrolyzed to methyl 2-(o-tolyl)acrylate with an alkali metal hydroxide or ammonia, or it can undergo formylation with triazolinone to yield methyl 3-(o-tolyl)propionate.
