Application
Methyl 4-ethynylbenzoate is widely used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical research and polymer chemistry. Its ethynyl group enables efficient participation in Huisgen cycloaddition (click chemistry) for bioconjugation and dendrimer synthesis. Researchers utilize it to modify aromatic systems in liquid crystal and conductive polymer development. The compound also serves as a precursor for advanced organic frameworks (MOFs/COFs) due to its rigid benzoate backbone.
