Uses
Ethyl propiolate (CAS: 623-47-2) is a high-activity alkyne compound with wide applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical manufacturing and chemical research. As a key organic building block, it is used in the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds, aromatic derivatives and pharmaceutical intermediates, especially in the preparation of anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anti-tumor drugs. In asymmetric synthesis, its halogenated derivatives serve as substrates for direct asymmetric alkynylation of cyclic β-ketoesters using chiral phase-transfer catalysts. It is also employed in one-pot four-component synthesis of benzene-1,2,3,5-tetracarboxylates promoted by triphenylphosphine. Additionally, it functions as a critical reagent for chemical analysis and material synthesis, meeting high-purity standards for laboratory and industrial applications.
Packaging & Storage
Packaging: Laboratory grade: 10mL/50mL/100mL amber glass bottles (sealed with Teflon gaskets); Industrial grade: 25kg/50kg corrosion-resistant HDPE plastic drums or IBC containers, labeled with "flammable", "irritant" and GHS hazard information, and marked with product name, CAS number, purity and storage conditions. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse at 2–8°C (refrigerated storage); keep tightly sealed, protected from moisture, light and air; avoid contact with strong oxidants, strong bases, acids and heavy metal powders; shelf life is 12 months under specified storage conditions. Keep away from fire, heat sources and direct sunlight during storage and transportation. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles and protective masks during operation; use in a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapor or contact with skin and eyes; if it comes into contact with the skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; if accidentally ingested or splashed into eyes, seek medical attention immediately.
