Ethyl (2R)-2-methoxypropanoate, with the CAS number 40105-20-2, is an ester characterized by its fruity aroma, which makes it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. This compound is derived from the reaction of ethyl alcohol and 2-methoxypropanoic acid. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility. Ethyl (2R)-2-methoxypropanoate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chains. The compound exhibits moderate stability under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its chiral center (the 2R configuration) can influence its reactivity and interactions in biological systems, making it of interest in various synthetic and medicinal chemistry applications. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause irritation upon contact, it is generally considered to have low toxicity when handled properly.
