Ethyl 2-methylbenzenepropanoate

Description:
Ethyl 2-methylbenzenepropanoate, also known as ethyl 2-methylphenylpropanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from the reaction of 2-methylbenzoic acid and ethanol, resulting in a fruity aroma often associated with esters. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Its molecular structure features a propanoate group attached to a 2-methylbenzene ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. Ethyl 2-methylbenzenepropanoate is used in various applications, including flavoring and fragrance formulations, due to its pleasant scent. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
