CAS 2173-56-0: Pentyl pentanoate

Description:Pentyl pentanoate, with the CAS number 2173-56-0, is an ester formed from pentanoic acid and pentanol. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity odor, which makes it useful in the flavor and fragrance industries. The molecular structure consists of a five-carbon chain from both the acid and alcohol components, contributing to its relatively low molecular weight. Pentyl pentanoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its boiling point is relatively low compared to larger esters, and it exhibits moderate volatility. In terms of reactivity, pentyl pentanoate is stable under normal conditions but can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its parent alcohol and acid. This compound is often used in the synthesis of other chemicals and as a solvent in various applications, highlighting its versatility in both industrial and laboratory settings.
