CAS NO.: 181819-48-7; 3-Methoxy-3-methylbutanoic acid. PROPERTIES: This carboxylic acid is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of ~110 C112 C at 10 mmHg. It is soluble in water and ethanol, with the methoxy and methyl groups influencing its solubility and reactivity. Store in a sealed container at room temperature, away from bases. As a carboxylic acid, it may cause skin irritation, so use gloves when handling. APPLICATIONS: In organic synthesis, this acid is used in esterification reactions to form methoxy-substituted esters. It can also serve as a starting material for constructing -alkoxy carboxylic acids or derivatives, which are found in some pharmaceutical intermediates or natural products. Additionally, it may be used in polymer synthesis as a monomer or chain transfer agent. This utility is based on carboxylic acid chemistry and synthetic protocols in organic chemistry.
