Heptanoic acid,6-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:

Heptanoic acid, 6-methyl-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 6-methylheptanoate, is an ester derived from heptanoic acid and methanol. This compound features a seven-carbon chain with a methyl group located at the sixth carbon, contributing to its branched structure. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, typical of many esters. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. Heptanoic acid, 6-methyl-, methyl ester is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its properties include a relatively low boiling point and moderate volatility, making it useful in fragrance formulations. Additionally, it may exhibit low toxicity, but safety data should always be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines. Overall, this compound is of interest in both industrial and research settings due to its unique structure and properties.
