Thermo Scientific™ 1-Methylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid 98%

1-Methylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid is a cyclic aliphatic carboxylic acid featuring a strained three-membered cyclopropane ring substituted with a methyl group and a carboxylic acid functionality. With a high chemical reactivity due to ring strain, this compound is valuable in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediate development, and reactivity mechanism studies.

Supplied at ≥98% purity (GC ≥97.5%), this low-melting white to light yellow solid offers high stability under ambient storage conditions and is typically used in structure-activity relationship (SAR) research, derivatization, and custom synthesis workflows. The compound is classified as corrosive and should be handled with appropriate laboratory precautions.
