Ethyl benzoylformate

Description:

Ethyl benzoylformate, with the CAS number 1603-79-8, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by its structure, which includes an ethyl group, a benzoyl moiety, and a formate group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. Ethyl benzoylformate is known for its role as a flavoring agent and fragrance in various applications, including food and cosmetics. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate stability under standard conditions. The compound can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of benzoylformic acid and ethanol. Ethyl benzoylformate is also of interest in synthetic organic chemistry, where it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. As with many organic substances, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

Ethyl benzoylformate

CAS: 1603-79-8

Ethyl benzoylformate is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of cinchona alkaloids. It is used as an analytical reagent for determining the concentration of cinchonidine, which assists in the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory diseases. The biosynthesis of ethyl benzoylformate begins with the condensation reaction between fatty acid and dinucleotide phosphate. This reaction can be enhanced by adding a cationic surfactant to increase the rate at which it takes place. The redox potentials of this compound are important in understanding its reactivity because they indicate whether it will oxidize or reduce another molecule. Ethyl benzoylformate has been shown to act as an adrenergic receptor agonist in lutea l., a model system for studying adrenergic receptors. Its asymmetric synthesis is achieved through two different routes, one requiring ethyl formate and one not requiring it.
