:Butanoic acid, 3-oxo-, 1-phenylethyl ester
Description:
Butanoic acid, 3-oxo-, 1-phenylethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 40552-84-9, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. This compound features a butanoic acid moiety with a ketone at the 3-position and a phenylethyl group as the alcohol component. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, characteristic of esters. The presence of the phenyl group contributes to its aromatic properties, while the butanoic acid component imparts a degree of acidity. This compound is likely to be soluble in organic solvents but may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. It may participate in various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis, transesterification, and condensation, making it of interest in organic synthesis and potentially in the development of fragrances or flavoring agents. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
