41123-14-2 - Introduction
Methyl, also known as methyl formate, is an organic compound. Its molecular formula is C13H11NO4 and its molecular weight is 245.23g/mol.
Nature, methyl formate is a colorless or light yellow solid, stable at room temperature and pressure. It has a special indole structure and contains ester and acetate groups. It is soluble in solution in organic solvents such as ethanol, dichloromethane and acetone, but poorly soluble in water.
Methyl formate has a wide range of uses in the field of organic synthesis. It is often used as an intermediate in the synthesis of drugs, such as antibacterial drugs and anticancer drugs. At the same time, it can also be used to prepare chemicals such as dyes, coatings and fragrances.
The preparation of methyl formate is usually carried out by chemical synthesis methods. A common preparation method is to protect the 6-carboxyl group on the indole ring as an ester group, and then acetylation reaction in the presence of acetic anhydride and base to produce methyl formate.
Regarding its safety information, methyl formate is an organic compound, and protective measures need to be paid attention to during use. It may cause irritation to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Appropriate protective equipment, such as lab gloves, goggles and protective masks, should be worn when in use. At the same time, it should be operated in a well-ventilated place and avoid inhaling its vapor. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical assistance. During storage, methyl formate should be stored in a sealed container, away from fire and oxidizing agents.
