13168-99-5 - Introduction
(E)-methyl 4-methoxybut-2-enoate, chemical formula C7H12O3, is an organic compound. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity taste.
This compound is mainly used as a reagent in organic synthesis reactions, such as hydroxylation reaction, acetal reaction and Michael addition reaction. It also has applications in the field of medicine and can be used as a potential drug intermediate.
The preparation method of (E)-methyl 4-methoxybut-2-enoate can be obtained by the reaction of methanol and 2-butenal under acidic conditions. First, under the catalysis of sulfuric acid, methanol and 2-butenal react to produce 4-methoxycrotonic acid formaldehyde. The formaldehyde is then oxidized to the carboxylic acid by an acetal reaction using an oxidizing agent to give the corresponding ester.
Regarding the safety information of (E)-methyl 4-methoxybut-2-enoate, it is a flammable liquid and should avoid contact with fire sources. Be careful to avoid inhalation, contact with skin and eyes. Good ventilation during operation and proper personal protective equipment. If accidental contact or ingestion, should immediately wash or medical treatment. During storage and transportation, violent impact and vibration should be avoided, and at the same time, it should be stored separately from oxidants, acids and alkalis.
