Propanoic acid, 3-isocyano-, Methyl ester - Introduction
Methyl 3-isocyanopropanoate(methyl 3-isocyanopropanoate) is an organic compound. Its chemical formula is C5H7NO2, and there is an isocyano group (-N = C = O) and a methyl ester group (-COOCH3) in the structure.
Properties: methyl 3-isocyanopropanoate is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It can be volatile at room temperature, soluble in many organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers and ketones.
Uses: Methyl 3-isocyanopropanoate is mainly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It can be used to synthesize compounds with pharmaceutical activity, such as antibiotics, insecticides and pesticides. In addition, it can be used in the preparation of coatings, adhesives and polymers.
Preparation method: Methyl 3-isocyanopropanoate is usually prepared by reacting iso-acid chloride (isoyl chloride) with methanol. During the reaction, iso-acid chloride reacts with methanol to produce methyl 3-isocyyanopropanoate and hydrogen chloride.
Safety Information: Methyl 3-isocyanopropanoate is irritating and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Care should be taken to avoid direct contact during use. In addition, since it has an isocyano group, it may cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, appropriate personal protective measures, such as wearing protective gloves and respiratory protective equipment, must be taken. At the same time, attention should be paid to fire and explosion-proof measures during use and storage.
