| General description: | Methyl 3-butenoate is an olefin ester. It is reported to undergo Iron carbonyl-promoted isomerization to afford α, β-unsaturated esters. It is one of the reaction products formed during flash vacuum thermolysis of (−)-cocaine. The H2 and CH4 chemical ionization mass spectra of methyl 3-butenoate has been reported. |
