:Butanoic acid, 3-Methyl-, 1-Methylbutyl ester
Description:
Butanoic acid, 3-methyl-, 1-methylbutyl ester, also known as 3-methylbutyl 3-methylbutanoate, is an ester formed from the reaction of 3-methylbutanoic acid and 1-methylbutanol. This compound typically exhibits a fruity odor, making it relevant in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The molecular structure features a butanoic acid backbone with additional methyl groups, contributing to its branched nature, which can influence its physical properties such as boiling point and volatility. As an ester, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its parent acid and alcohol. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Overall, this compound is of interest in both industrial applications and research due to its unique chemical properties and potential uses.
