Description
Methyl 3-((2,2-dimethylbutanoyl)thio)propanoate (CAS 938063-63-9, EC 620-518-6, molecular formula C10H18O3S) is a thioester-functionalized propanoate compound. It carries no assigned E-code or common trade abbreviation. It is classified as a pharmaceutical intermediate within the specialty chemicals sector.
In pharmaceutical synthesis, this compound functions as a reactive thioester building block, where the thioester bond undergoes selective acyl transfer reactions to introduce the 2,2-dimethylbutanoyl moiety into target molecules. It also serves a catalytic role in biotechnology research contexts, facilitating controlled bond-forming steps in complex molecule assembly.
Methyl 3-((2,2-dimethylbutanoyl)thio)propanoate is supplied as a liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements applicable to substances placed on the European market. Procurement professionals should request a current Safety Data Sheet and confirm purity specifications directly with the supplier, as no standardized pharmacopoeial grade has been publicly established for this intermediate.
