Ethyl 2-octynoate is an organic compound classified as an alkyne ester, characterized by its distinctive structure featuring a triple bond between the second and third carbon atoms of an octane chain. It has the molecular formula C11H20O2 and is known for its fruity aroma, making it of interest in the flavor and fragrance industry. Ethyl 2-octynoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The compound can be synthesized through various methods, including the reaction of ethyl acetate with a terminal alkyne in the presence of a catalyst. Its applications extend beyond flavoring, as it can also serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
