Hexanoic acid, 6-hydroxy-, phenylmethyl ester

Description:

Hexanoic acid, 6-hydroxy-, phenylmethyl ester, with the CAS number 125878-06-0, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from hexanoic acid and phenylmethanol (benzyl alcohol). This compound typically exhibits a moderate molecular weight and is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its ester nature, while its solubility in water may be limited due to the hydrophobic hexanoic acid chain. The presence of the hydroxyl group suggests potential for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other substances. Hexanoic acid derivatives are often used in various applications, including as flavoring agents, fragrances, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The specific properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and density, would depend on the molecular structure and the presence of functional groups, which can also affect its behavior in chemical reactions and its stability under different conditions.
