methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate; CAS No.: 13674-16-3; methyl 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate. PROPERTIES: This hydroxy ester is a colorless liquid with molecular formula C11H12O3. It has molecular weight of 192.21 g/mol and boiling point around 220-225 C at 760 mmHg. It is miscible with polar aprotic solvents and has limited water solubility. Recommended storage is in tightly sealed containers at room temperature. Being an ester and alcohol containing compound, it may cause eye irritation and skin sensitization; appropriate PPE should be used. APPLICATIONS: In the flavor and fragrance industry, this compound serves as starting material for producing aldehyde derivatives with rose-like odor notes. The hydroxy group is oxidized to ketone or converted to alkene through elimination reactions (Flavour and Fragrance Journal). In pharmaceutical applications, it acts as intermediate for synthesizing beta-blockers where the hydroxy group participates in hydrogen bonding with target receptors (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). The phenyl substituent provides aromatic character that influences receptor binding affinity. Additionally, it functions as building block for producing agrochemicals though agricultural uses are excluded per your request. Its hydroxy and ester functionalities enable diverse reaction pathways including amidation and transesterification for constructing various organic compounds.
