Chemical Structure

methyl 2-oxooxolane-3-carboxylate CAS 19406-00-9 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, methyl 2-oxooxolane-3-carboxylate (C6H8O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 144.13 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
