Dimethyl succinate

Description:
Dimethyl succinate is an organic compound classified as a diester, specifically the dimethyl ester of succinic acid. It has the molecular formula C6H10O4 and features a colorless to pale yellow liquid appearance with a fruity odor. This compound is known for its low toxicity and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, while being less soluble in water. Dimethyl succinate is commonly used as a solvent, in the production of polymers, and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Its boiling point is relatively high, indicating a moderate volatility, and it has a moderate density compared to water. Additionally, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, reverting to succinic acid and methanol. Due to its chemical structure, dimethyl succinate can participate in various chemical reactions, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes upon contact.
