Description:Ethyl 2-propylpentanoate, with the CAS number 17022-31-0, is an ester formed from the reaction of ethyl alcohol and 2-propylpentanoic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, characteristic of many esters. It is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, which is common for esters due to their hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains. Ethyl 2-propylpentanoate is often used in flavoring and fragrance applications, contributing to the sensory profiles of various products. Its boiling point and melting point are consistent with those of similar esters, indicating a relatively low volatility. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Safety data suggests that, while it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, it is generally considered to have low toxicity. As with all chemicals, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed to mitigate any potential risks.
