Pentanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, ethyl ester

Description:

Pentanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 2-ethylpentanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from pentanoic acid and ethanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The compound is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic characteristics due to the long hydrocarbon chain. Its molecular structure includes a five-carbon pentanoic acid backbone with an ethyl group at the second carbon, contributing to its unique properties. Pentanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, ethyl ester is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate boiling point, which can influence its behavior in various chemical processes. Additionally, it is generally considered to have low toxicity, although safety data should always be consulted for handling and usage. This compound finds applications in the synthesis of other chemicals, as well as in the food and cosmetic industries due to its pleasant aroma.
