4-Pentenoic acid, phenylmethyl ester

Description:

4-Pentenoic acid, phenylmethyl ester, also known as benzyl 4-pentenoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from the reaction of 4-pentenoic acid and benzyl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the pentenoic acid moiety imparts unsaturation to the molecule, which can influence its reactivity, particularly in addition reactions. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis, in the production of polymers, or as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability and integrity.
