Ethyl α,2-dimethylbenzenepropanoate

Description:

Ethyl α,2-dimethylbenzenepropanoate, also known by its CAS number 120958-27-2, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by the presence of an ethyl group, a propanoate moiety, and a dimethyl-substituted benzene ring, which contributes to its aromatic properties. This compound typically exhibits a pleasant, fruity odor, making it potentially useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. Ethyl α,2-dimethylbenzenepropanoate is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Its chemical stability and reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the ester functional group, which may undergo hydrolysis under certain conditions. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure safe usage in laboratory or industrial settings.
