Application

Methyl propiolate serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. Its triple bond functionality enables Huisgen cycloadditions for triazole formation in click chemistry applications. Researchers employ it as a precursor for pyrazole and pyrrole derivatives through [3+2] cycloaddition reactions. The compound also finds use in material science for creating conductive polymers and cross-linked networks via radical polymerization.
