Key Characteristics:

1. Chemical formula: C13H16O3
2. Cas number: 41232-97-7
3. Molecular weight: approximately 206.24 g/mol
4. Physical state: Typically found as an oily liquid or solid substance.

Usage:

BMK ethyl glycidate is used in the production of phenyl-2-propanone (P2P), which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of amphetamines. The process involves chemically modifying BMK ethyl glycidate to produce P2P, which is then used in the synthesis of narcotic stimulants.
