Butanoic acid, 2-methyl-, ethyl ester, (R)-

Description:

Butanoic acid, 2-methyl-, ethyl ester, (R)-, also known as ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from butanoic acid and 2-methyl-1-butanol. It has a fruity odor, making it a compound of interest in the flavor and fragrance industry. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chains. The (R)- configuration indicates its specific stereochemistry, which can influence its sensory properties and reactivity. Butanoic acid derivatives are known for their applications in food flavoring, perfumery, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit low toxicity, but safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as with all chemical substances. Its boiling and melting points, along with its density, are typical of esters, reflecting its molecular structure and interactions.
