General description

Methyl 2-methylglycidate (methyl 2-methyloxirane-2-carboxylate) is an ester derived epoxide. It is reported to be formed by the reaction of methyl pyruvate with diazomethane. It is formed as an intermediate in the synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives.

Application

Methyl 2-methylglycidate may be used in the synthesis of:
  • 2-methyl-2-hydroxy-1-propanol
  • 2,3-dihydroxy-2-methyl propionic acid
  • methyl 2-hydroxy-3-((4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonyl)-2-methylpropanoate
