CAS 50889-47-9
:Hexanoic acid, 2,2-difluoro-, methyl ester
Description:
Hexanoic acid, 2,2-difluoro-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 50889-47-9, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from hexanoic acid and methyl alcohol. This compound features a six-carbon chain (hexanoic acid) with two fluorine atoms attached to the second carbon, which significantly influences its chemical properties. The presence of fluorine atoms typically enhances the compound's lipophilicity and alters its reactivity compared to its non-fluorinated counterparts. Hexanoic acid derivatives are often used in various applications, including as flavoring agents, surfactants, and in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. The methyl ester form indicates that it is a methyl ester, which generally exhibits lower boiling points and higher volatility than the corresponding acid. Additionally, the compound may exhibit unique solubility characteristics due to the fluorine substituents, making it of interest in both industrial and research contexts. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as fluorinated compounds can have specific environmental and health considerations.
