Butanoic acid, 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl ester

Description:
Butanoic acid, 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl ester, also known by its CAS number 2173-82-2, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a butanoic acid moiety and a 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl group. This compound typically exhibits a pleasant, fruity odor, which is common among many esters, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The presence of double bonds in the octadienyl chain contributes to its reactivity and potential for undergoing various chemical transformations, such as oxidation or polymerization. Butanoic acid itself is a short-chain fatty acid, which imparts certain properties like solubility in organic solvents and moderate volatility. The compound may also exhibit biological activity, as many esters are known to interact with biological systems. However, specific safety and handling information should be consulted, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper usage and risk management.
