Hexyl 2-methylbutanoate

Description:
Hexyl 2-methylbutanoate, with the CAS number 10032-15-2, is an ester formed from hexanol and 2-methylbutanoic acid. It is typically characterized by its pleasant fruity aroma, making it a compound of interest in the flavor and fragrance industries. The substance is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is relatively non-polar, which influences its solubility properties; it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Hexyl 2-methylbutanoate has a moderate boiling point and a low vapor pressure, indicating that it can exist as a liquid at room temperature. Its molecular structure contributes to its stability under standard conditions, although it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. This compound is often used as a flavoring agent in food products and as a fragrance component in cosmetics and perfumes. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many organic compounds, to avoid potential irritation or adverse reactions.
