CAS 42598-96-9: Heptyl 3-oxobutanoate
Description:Heptyl 3-oxobutanoate, with the CAS number 42598-96-9, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from the reaction of heptanol and 3-oxobutanoic acid, resulting in a structure that features a heptyl chain attached to a 3-oxobutanoate moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, which is common among esters. Heptyl 3-oxobutanoate is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic heptyl chain. It is often used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and may have applications in flavoring and fragrance industries due to its pleasant aroma. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols to avoid exposure or environmental contamination.
