:Heptanoic acid, 7-oxo-, ethyl ester
Description:
Heptanoic acid, 7-oxo-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 7-oxoheptanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from heptanoic acid and an oxo group at the 7th carbon position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic heptanoic acid backbone. The presence of the oxo group introduces a ketone functionality, which can influence its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. Heptanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in the production of flavoring agents, fragrances, and as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizing agents is recommended to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
