Use | methoxyacetic acid is an acid organic substance, which can be used as a Biochemical reagent. methoxyacetic acid is an organic chemical raw material, and methyl methoxyacetate can be synthesized by esterification with methanol. Methyl methoxyacetate is a valuable intermediate for the kinetic resolution of chiral amines. It can also be used for the synthesis of vitamin B6, sulfanilamide -5-pyrimidine, etc. In addition, methyl methoxyacetate is also used as a catalyst for the polymerization reaction. |
preparation | methoxyacetic acid can be obtained by oxidation of methoxyethanol. |
biological activity | methoxy acid is an endogenous metabolite. |
