2,4-Pentadienoic acid, methyl ester, (2E)-

Description:
2,4-Pentadienoic acid, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2,4-pentadienoate, is an organic compound characterized by its unsaturated fatty acid structure. It features a five-carbon chain with two double bonds located at the 2nd and 4th positions, which classifies it as a conjugated diene. The presence of the methyl ester functional group indicates that it is an ester formed from the reaction of pentadienoic acid and methanol. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the ester group. The unsaturation in its structure contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, including polymerization and as an intermediate in the production of other organic compounds. Additionally, it may have applications in the flavor and fragrance industry due to its characteristic aroma. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if not managed properly.
