CAS 123-66-0

Ethyl hexanoate

Description:

Ethyl hexanoate, with the CAS number 123-66-0, is an ester formed from the reaction of ethanol and hexanoic acid. It is characterized by its fruity aroma, often reminiscent of apples or pears, making it a common flavoring agent in the food industry. Ethyl hexanoate is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Its molecular formula is C8H16O2, and it has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility and fragrance properties. The substance is used not only in food flavoring but also in the production of perfumes and as a solvent in various chemical processes. Ethyl hexanoate is generally considered safe for use in food applications, although it should be handled with care due to its potential irritant effects on the skin and eyes. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its parent alcohol and acid.
