Hexanoic acid, 6-oxo-, ethyl ester

Description:
Hexanoic acid, 6-oxo-, ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 27983-42-2, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from hexanoic acid and 6-oxo-hexanoic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the oxo group contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in various chemical syntheses. Hexanoic acid derivatives are often used in the production of flavors, fragrances, and as plasticizers. The compound's boiling point and melting point are influenced by its molecular structure, which includes a six-carbon chain. Additionally, it may undergo typical esterification reactions and hydrolysis under appropriate conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
