3-Ethoxyacrylic acid is an organic compound containing an acrylic acid backbone with an ethoxy (-OCH₂CH₃) group attached to the third carbon. Its structure combines a carboxylic acid (-COOH) group, which provides acidity, and an ethoxy substituent that influences solubility and reactivity. This compound is useful as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the creation of polymers, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. The ethoxyacrylic structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as polymerization or conjugate additions.
