Pentanedioic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-, monomethyl ester

Description:
Pentanedioic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-, monomethyl ester, commonly known as dimethyl glutarate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from pentanedioic acid (glutaric acid). It features a five-carbon chain with two carboxylic acid groups, where one of the acid groups is esterified with a methyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. Dimethyl glutarate is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the production of plasticizers, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its chemical structure contributes to its relatively low toxicity and moderate volatility. Additionally, it can participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and transesterification, making it a versatile compound in both industrial and laboratory settings. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
