CAS 13327-56-5: Ethyl 3-methylthiopropionate

Description: Ethyl 3-methylthiopropionate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from the reaction of 3-methylthiopropionic acid and ethanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity, sweet odor, making it of interest in the flavor and fragrance industries. The molecular structure features a propionate backbone with a methylthio group, contributing to its unique scent profile. Ethyl 3-methylthiopropionate is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water, which is common for many esters. Its boiling point and density are consistent with those of similar esters, and it is generally stable under standard conditions. However, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Its applications extend beyond flavoring, potentially including use in chemical synthesis and research. As with any chemical, proper safety protocols should be followed when handling this substance.
