CAS 10348-47-7: Ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate

Description:Ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate, with the CAS number 10348-47-7, is an ester that belongs to the class of compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. This substance is characterized by its ethyl ester functional group, which contributes to its volatility and solubility in organic solvents. The presence of a hydroxyl group (–OH) in its structure imparts some degree of polarity, making it more soluble in polar solvents compared to other esters. Ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate typically exhibits a fruity odor, which is common among many esters, and it is often used in flavoring and fragrance applications. Its molecular structure includes a branched alkyl chain, which can influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point. Additionally, this compound may participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and hydrolysis, making it of interest in both synthetic organic chemistry and industrial applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
