Butanoic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-, methyl ester

Description:
Butanoic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 38941-46-7, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from butanoic acid. This compound features a butanoic acid backbone with a ketone group at the second carbon and two methyl groups at the third carbon, contributing to its branched structure. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often associated with fruity or sweet notes. The presence of the ester functional group imparts solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. This compound may exhibit moderate volatility and can participate in various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis and transesterification. Its unique structure and properties make it of interest in fields such as organic synthesis, flavor and fragrance industries, and potentially in pharmaceuticals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
