methyl 2-(2-formylphenoxy)acetate; CAS No.: 40359-34-0; methyl 2-(2-formylphenoxy)acetate. PROPERTIES: Methyl 2-(2-formylphenoxy)acetate appears as a pale yellow liquid with molecular formula C11H10O4. It has a distinct aromatic odor and is moderately soluble in organic solvents like ethyl acetate and dichloromethane. Storage requirements include maintaining temperatures below 10 C in amber glass containers to prevent light-induced degradation. This compound is flammable and should be stored away from heat sources and oxidizing agents. Safety measures entail using spark-proof equipment and having fire extinguishers readily available. In case of fire, use carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguishers. APPLICATIONS: This compound is crucial in the synthesis of -lactam antibiotics where its formyl group participates in ring-forming reactions (antibiotic manufacturing). In organic synthesis, methyl 2-(2-formylphenoxy)acetate serves as a protected aldehyde building block for complex molecule assembly (organic chemistry research). Its phenoxy functionality enables metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of agrochemicals with specific herbicidal activities (chemical synthesis sector).
