Ethyl 2-acetyloctanoate

Description:
Ethyl 2-acetyloctanoate, with the CAS number 29214-60-6, is an ester formed from the reaction of ethyl alcohol and 2-acetyloctanoic acid. 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 moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic octanoate chain. Ethyl 2-acetyloctanoate has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its use in various formulations. In terms of chemical reactivity, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its parent alcohol and acid. This compound is often utilized in the food industry for flavor enhancement and in the cosmetic industry for its aromatic properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
