:Heptanoic acid, 7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-, ethyl ester
Description:
Heptanoic acid, 7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-, ethyl ester, identified by the CAS number 2280838-78-8, is an ester derived from heptanoic acid and 7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl alcohol. This compound typically exhibits characteristics common to esters, such as a pleasant, fruity odor and a relatively low boiling point compared to its parent acids. It is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic heptanoic acid backbone. The presence of the hydroxy group may impart some degree of polarity, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other substances. This compound may find applications in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as in the synthesis of other chemical intermediates. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or acids, reverting to its constituent acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
