Propyl 2-methylbutanoate

Description:
Propyl 2-methylbutanoate, with the CAS number 37064-20-3, is an ester formed from the reaction of propanol and 2-methylbutanoic acid. This compound typically exhibits a fruity odor, which is characteristic of many esters, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and diethyl ether. The molecular structure features a propyl group attached to the ester functional group, contributing to its unique properties. Propyl 2-methylbutanoate has a moderate boiling point and a relatively low vapor pressure, indicating that it can exist as a liquid under standard conditions. Its stability under normal conditions makes it suitable for various industrial applications, including use in food flavoring, perfumes, and as a solvent. As with many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to avoid potential hazards associated with exposure.
