methyl methoxy(phenyl)acetate

Description:
Methyl methoxy(phenyl)acetate, with the CAS number 32174-46-2, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a methoxy group and a phenyl group attached to an acetate moiety. This compound typically exhibits a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in the fragrance and flavoring industries. It is generally a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. Methyl methoxy(phenyl)acetate can be synthesized through esterification reactions involving methanol, phenylacetic acid, and appropriate catalysts. Its applications extend beyond fragrances, as it may also serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of various chemical products. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, observing safety protocols to mitigate any potential health risks associated with exposure.
