Acetoxycaproicacidmethylester; 98%

Description:
Acetoxycaproic acid methyl ester, with the CAS number 104954-58-7, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from caproic acid, which is a six-carbon fatty acid, and features an acetoxy group, indicating the presence of an acetyl moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components in its structure. Acetoxycaproic acid methyl ester is often used in chemical synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the ester bond, making it susceptible to hydrolysis and transesterification reactions. Safety data sheets indicate that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials is recommended to maintain its stability and efficacy.
