2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate

Description:
2-Methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate, with the CAS number 2445-78-5, is an ester formed from the reaction of 2-methylbutanoic acid and 2-methylbutanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is characterized by its relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. The molecular structure features a branched alkyl chain, which contributes to its unique properties and reactivity. As an ester, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its parent alcohol and acid. Additionally, 2-methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate is often studied for its potential applications in the synthesis of other organic compounds and its role in various industrial processes. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
