Carbonic acid, methyl phenylmethyl ester, also known as methyl phenylmethyl carbonate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from carbonic acid. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. This compound is known for its moderate volatility and low solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. It has applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. The compound is generally stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of carbonic acid and the corresponding alcohol. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation. Overall, methyl phenylmethyl carbonate is a versatile compound with significance in both industrial and research settings.

Benzyl Methyl Carbonate

Benzyl methyl carbonate is a product of the reaction between benzyl chloride and methanol. This compound is activated by UV radiation, which causes hydrolysis to form a carbonyl group. It is used as an intermediate in the production of hydroxamic acids and has been shown to be effective in treating fruit trees with amine-related diseases. Benzyl methyl carbonate is not soluble in water but can react with strong bases such as sodium hydroxide to form an electrolyte solution.
