Monomethyl adipate（Cat No.:R043964）is a monoester derivative of adipic acid, featuring one methyl ester group and one free carboxylic acid. It serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of polymers, plasticizers, and specialty chemicals. Its bifunctional nature allows for further esterification, amidation, or polymerization reactions. Monomethyl adipate is also used in the synthesis of biodegradable materials and can act as a solvent or reagent in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its balance of reactivity and stability makes it useful in both research and industrial applications.
