Methyl decanoate

Description:
Methyl decanoate, with the CAS number 110-42-9, is an ester formed from the reaction of methanol and decanoic acid. It is characterized by its pleasant, fruity odor, which makes it useful in the flavor and fragrance industries. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a relatively low boiling point, indicating it is volatile. Methyl decanoate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic decanoate chain. It is commonly used as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, it exhibits properties typical of esters, including being less dense than water and having a lower viscosity. Methyl decanoate is also recognized for its potential applications in biodiesel production and as a model compound in studies of lipid metabolism. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it can be an irritant to the skin and eyes.
