Description

2-Butenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, Sodium Salt, (2E)- is the sodium salt derivative of the unsaturated carboxylic acid, tiglic acid. This compound is valued for its role as a reactive intermediate and functional additive in various synthesis and formulation processes. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring a stabilized, water-soluble form of the tiglate moiety.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for manufacturing certain herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a comonomer or functional additive to introduce specific properties into polymer chains.
• Flavor and Fragrance Industry: Employed in the production of esters and other compounds for synthetic flavorings.
• Research & Development: Utilized in chemical research as a standard or reagent for studying reaction mechanisms and developing new methodologies.
• Cross-linking Agent: Functions in formulations for coatings, adhesives, or resins that require cross-linking capabilities.
