Octanoic acid, 6-oxo-, ethyl ester

Description:
Octanoic acid, 6-oxo-, ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 4233-58-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of fatty acid esters. It is characterized by its ester functional group, which is formed from the reaction of octanoic acid and ethanol. This compound typically exhibits a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic octanoic acid backbone. The presence of the 6-oxo group indicates that it has a ketone functional group at the sixth carbon position, which can influence its reactivity and properties. Octanoic acid derivatives are often used in various applications, including as flavoring agents, in the production of surfactants, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its structure contributes to its potential biological activity, making it of interest in fields such as biochemistry and pharmacology. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
