Description:Ethyl pentadecanoate, with the CAS number 41114-00-5, is an ester formed from the reaction of pentadecanoic acid and ethanol. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 15 carbon atoms, which contributes to its hydrophobic nature and influences its physical properties. Ethyl pentadecanoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it suitable for use in flavoring and fragrance applications. Its molecular structure includes an ethyl group and a pentadecanoate moiety, which imparts certain characteristics such as low volatility and moderate solubility in organic solvents. The substance is generally stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases. Ethyl pentadecanoate is also of interest in the fields of biochemistry and nutrition, as it can be found in various natural sources and may have implications in metabolic studies. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
