General Description

Methyl formylcarbamate, also known as methyl 2-formamidocrotonate, is a chemical compound with the formula C4H7NO3. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid and is primarily used as a reagent in organic synthesis. Methyl formylcarbamate is known for its ability to efficiently and selectively catalyze various chemical reactions, including the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it has been investigated for its potential use as a herbicidal and fungicidal agent. However, caution should be exercised when handling methyl formylcarbamate as it is considered to be a hazardous chemical and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon exposure.
