Ethyl 2-cyano-4,4-dimethoxybutanoate（Cat No.:L046550）is a multifunctional ester featuring a cyano group at the 2-position and two methoxy groups at the 4-position on a butanoate backbone. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis due to its electrophilic ester and cyano functionalities, which participate in condensation, cyclization, and nucleophilic addition reactions. The dimethoxy substitution enhances stability and influences steric and electronic properties. It is widely used in the synthesis of heterocycles, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, particularly in the construction of pyridines, pyrimidines, and other nitrogen-containing bioactive compounds.
