2-Hexenoic acid,5-methyl-, ethyl ester, (2E)-

Description:

2-Hexenoic acid, 5-methyl-, ethyl ester, (2E)-, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is formed from the reaction of 2-hexenoic acid and ethanol. This compound features a double bond in its carbon chain, specifically at the second position, indicating it is an unsaturated fatty acid derivative. The presence of a methyl group at the fifth carbon adds to its structural complexity and influences its physical properties. Typically, esters like this one exhibit fruity or floral aromas, making them valuable in flavor and fragrance applications. The compound is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. Its reactivity may include participation in various chemical reactions typical of unsaturated compounds, such as addition reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards, as with all chemical substances.
