2-Methoxycarbonylcyclopentanone (CAS: 1476-05-9) is a critical pharmaceutical intermediate featuring a cyclopentanone ring substituted with a methyl ester group. Synthesized via the cycloaddition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or cyclization of dicarbonyl precursors, it serves as a versatile scaffold for heterocyclic synthesis.
