2-propanoic acid is an organic compound with the chemical structure of C7H10N2O2. It had the appearance of a white crystalline powder.
This compound is commonly used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and a reagent for organic synthesis. It can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of anti-inflammatory drugs, fungicides, pesticides and other organic compounds. It has inhibitory and killing effects on some microorganisms and insects.
At present, there are two main methods for preparing 2-(over) propanoic acid. One is to obtain the target product by reacting p-methoxyalkanone and 1-azacyclohexanone. The other is the nitration of 3-methyl -1H-pyrazole to obtain the corresponding nitro compound, which is then reduced to obtain the target compound.
Regarding safety information, due to different specific use environments and conditions, the safety of 2-(1) propanoic acid needs to be evaluated according to specific conditions. In general, it needs to be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place to avoid contact with oxidants and strong oxidants. Appropriate personal protective measures should be taken during use and handling, such as wearing suitable protective gloves and eye protection equipment, and following safe operating procedures.
