Hexanoic acid, methyl ester

Description:

Hexanoic acid, methyl ester, also known as methyl hexanoate, is an ester derived from hexanoic acid and methanol. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor, commonly associated with the scent of apples or pineapples, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The compound has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, but only slightly soluble in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. Hexanoic acid, methyl ester is characterized by its chemical formula C7H14O2, which indicates the presence of a long hydrocarbon chain and a carboxylate functional group. It is often used in the production of surfactants, as well as in the synthesis of other chemicals. Additionally, it can be found in various natural sources, including certain fruits and dairy products. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Overall, hexanoic acid, methyl ester is a versatile compound with applications in both industrial and consumer products.

Methyl Hexanoate

CAS: 106-70-7

Methyl hexanoate is a fatty acid that is found in natural oils and fats, such as olive oil. It has a chemical structure of C6H12O2. Methyl hexanoate is used as a model system to study the reactions of organic compounds with hydroxyl groups. The kinetic data obtained from receptor cells show that methyl hexanoate reacts with acyl chains to form methyl myristate, which is an alkane with the molecular formula CH3(CH2)4CO2H. The reaction mechanism for this process includes the following steps: 1) deprotonation of methyl hexanoate by an acid catalyst; 2) elimination of water from the deprotonated molecule; 3) reaction of the resulting carboxylic acid with an acyl chain to produce an ester product; 4) elimination of water from the ester product to form a fatty acid.
