(S)-Ethyl 2-methylbutanoate

Description:
(S)-Ethyl 2-methylbutanoate is an ester that belongs to the family of carboxylic acid derivatives. It is characterized by its fruity aroma, which makes it a common flavoring agent in the food industry and a fragrance component in perfumery. The compound has a chiral center, resulting in its (S)-enantiomer being optically active. Its molecular structure consists of an ethyl group attached to a 2-methylbutanoate moiety, contributing to its unique properties. The substance is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its boiling point and density can vary, but it generally exhibits moderate volatility. (S)-Ethyl 2-methylbutanoate is also used in organic synthesis and can serve as a precursor for various chemical reactions. Safety data indicates that, while it may pose some health risks if ingested or inhaled in large quantities, it is generally regarded as safe when used appropriately in food and cosmetic applications.
