Application

N-3 protecting reagent for uridines and thymidines.
Methyl propiolate was used in the synthesis of polysubstituted 3-arylaminoacrylate and tetrahydropyrimidin-2-one derivatives. It was also used as a thiol derivatizing agent for capillary electrophoresis.
Used in a one-pot, four-component synthesis of 1,2,3,5-benzenetetracarboxylates promoted by Ph3P.

Polysubstituted 3-arylaminoacrylate and tetrahydropyrimidin-2-one derivatives could be selectively produced from the one-pot domino reaction of arylamines, methyl propiolate, aromatic aldehydes, and urea in ethanol in the presence of FeCl3 as catalyst. Under similar reactions secondary amines such as morpholine and
