CAS 42558-54-3: Pentanoic acid, 4-methyl-3-oxo-, methyl ester
Description:Pentanoic acid, 4-methyl-3-oxo-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from pentanoic acid. It features a five-carbon chain with a methyl group and a ketone functional group at specific positions, contributing to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions in its structure. Pentanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and flavoring agents. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the carbonyl group, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attack, which is a common feature in ester chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
