Methyl 3-(chloromethyl)-1-ethylazetidine-3-carboxylate

Methyl 3-(chloromethyl)-1-ethylazetidine-3-carboxylate, with CAS number 2225154-16-3 and molecular formula C8H14ClNO2, is a synthetic organic compound characterized by an azetidine ring system. The azetidine nitrogen is substituted with an ethyl group, while the C3 position bears both a chloromethyl group and a methyl ester functionality. This combination of functional groups provides multiple reactive sites, making it a valuable intermediate in complex organic synthesis. It can undergo reactions such as nucleophilic substitutions at the chloromethyl group, ester hydrolysis or transesterification, and modifications of the azetidine ring. Researchers may utilize this compound for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or advanced materials, leveraging its azetidine core and reactive side chains. It is supplied for Research Use Only (RUO).
