Methyl 4-methoxyacetoacetate, identified by CAS number 41051-15-4, is more than just a name in a chemical catalog; it's a vital component driving progress in critical industries. Its significance lies in its carefully designed molecular structure, which makes it an exceptionally useful intermediate in complex chemical manufacturing processes. As a manufacturer and supplier, we understand the multifaceted value this compound brings to our clients.
The chemical properties of Methyl 4-methoxyacetoacetate are key to its utility. Typically appearing as a colorless to light yellow liquid, it possesses a molecular weight of 146.14 and a density of 1.129 g/mL at 25°C. Its boiling point of 89°C at 8.5 mmHg and a relatively high flash point of 193°F indicate stable handling characteristics, essential for industrial applications. Crucially, its purity of ≥99.0% ensures that it performs as expected in sensitive reactions, minimizing impurities that could compromise the final product.
One of the most prominent applications driving demand for Methyl 4-methoxyacetoacetate is its role in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly the anti-HIV integrase inhibitor Dolutegravir. The rigorous standards of the pharmaceutical industry necessitate a reliable source of intermediates that meet exact specifications. We pride ourselves on being such a source, offering this compound from our manufacturing base in China, known for its robust chemical production capabilities. This allows us to provide competitive pricing and ensure a consistent supply for our global customers.
The strategic importance of Methyl 4-methoxyacetoacetate is amplified by its versatility. While its pharmaceutical application is widely recognized, its structure as a beta-keto ester makes it a valuable building block for a broad spectrum of organic synthesis. This includes potential applications in the agrochemical sector, the development of novel materials, and as a reagent in academic research. Companies looking to innovate in these areas will find Methyl 4-methoxyacetoacetate to be a valuable component in their synthesis pathways.
