Description
- Methyl 4-pentenoate is an unsaturated methyl ester that is prepared by the esterification of 1-pentenoic acid with methanol
- It undergoes amidation with formamide via acetone-initiated photochemical reaction to form a 1:1 adduct
- The metathesis of methyl 4-pentenoate with different mo(vi)alkylidene complexes have been reported
- It acts as a chain transfer agent during the polymerization of exo,exo-5,6-bis(methoxymethyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene using ruii(h20)6(tos)2 (tos =p-toluenesulfonate) as a catalyst
