Mc-MMAE(CAS: 863971-24-8)

Mc-MMAE is a crystalline compound with a molecular weight of approximately 272.29 g/mol. It has a solubility of about 0.1 g/100 mL in water and is less soluble in organic solvents. Mc-MMAE is reactive towards nucleophiles and can undergo various chemical transformations. It is stable under neutral and basic conditions but less so under acidic conditions.

Mc-MMAE can be synthesized via the reaction of methyl methacrylate with a suitable amine, such as 2-methylmorpholine N-oxide (MOMO). The synthesis typically proceeds with the use of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as titanium(IV) isopropoxide, and is carried out under mild conditions. The yield is generally high, and the product has good purity.

Mc-MMAE is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain drug candidates. It is also utilized in the polymer industry as a monomer for the production of specific polymers. Additionally, it has applications in the development of sensors and semiconductor materials.

When handling Mc-MMAE, it is essential to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood to prevent inhalation. Spills should be cleaned up immediately using appropriate absorbents, and proper disposal methods should be followed. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and disposal instructions.
