Metabolite Identification
Common NameAcrylate
Descriptionacrylate, also known as 2-propenoic acid or 2-propenoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acrylic acids. These are organic compounds containing acrylic acid CH2=CHCO2H. The acrylate ion is the anion CH2CHCOO−. acrylate is a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). A variety of acrylate-functionalized monomers are known. The reaction with lower alcohols (methanol, ethanol) takes place at 100–120 °C with acidic heterogeneous catalysts (cation exchanger). Acrylates (IUPAC: prop-2-enoates) are the salts, esters, and conjugate bases of acrylic acid and its derivatives. When attacked, DMSP lyase breaks down dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) into dimethylsulfide (DMS) and acrylate. Modified acrylates are also numerous, include methacrylates (CH2C(CH3)CO2R) and cyanoacrylates (CH2C(CN)CO2R). Acrylate has been suggested to be used by marine phytoplankton as a poisonous defense against predators such as protozoa. Acrylates contain vinyl groups directly attached to the carbonyl carbon.
