:Heptanoic acid, 6-oxo-, methyl ester
Description:
Heptanoic acid, 6-oxo-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 2046-21-1, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from heptanoic acid and a ketone group at the sixth carbon position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic heptane chain. The presence of the methyl ester group contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including esterification and transesterification. Heptanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in the synthesis of surfactants, flavoring agents, and fragrances. Additionally, the compound may have applications in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the development of drug formulations. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
