CAS 142-92-7

Hexyl acetate

Description:

Hexyl acetate, with the CAS number 142-92-7, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is formed from the reaction of hexanol and acetic acid. This colorless liquid is known for its fruity odor, often reminiscent of pear or apple, making it a popular choice in the flavor and fragrance industries. Hexyl acetate has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. Its chemical formula is C8H16O2, indicating the presence of a long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics. Hexyl acetate is commonly used as a solvent in coatings, adhesives, and inks, as well as in the production of various consumer products. Additionally, it is utilized in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential irritant effects on the skin and eyes, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures. Overall, hexyl acetate is valued for its pleasant aroma and versatility in industrial applications.

Hexyl acetate

CAS: 142-92-7

Hexyl acetate is a reactive compound that contains a hexyl group. It can be synthesized by reacting hexanol with acetic anhydride in the presence of hydrogen fluoride. Hexyl acetate is found in natural compounds such as essential oils and has been used as a perfume ingredient. The method for the analysis of hexyl acetate requires solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography, which can detect 0.1 ppm of the analyte in spiked samples. Hexyl acetate has shown to have protease activity, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with amino groups on proteins, leading to protein breakdown.
