:Butanoic acid, 2-ethyl-3-oxo-, methyl ester
Description:
Butanoic acid, 2-ethyl-3-oxo-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 51756-08-2, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from butanoic acid. This compound features a butanoic acid backbone with a ketone group at the 3-position and an ethyl group at the 2-position, contributing to its unique structure and properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The presence of the ester functional group suggests that it is likely to be soluble in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water. Its chemical structure allows for potential applications in the synthesis of various organic compounds, as well as 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, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential hazards.

Methyl 2-ethylacetoacetate
CAS:<p>Methyl 2-ethylacetoacetate (MEAA) is a reactive chemical that is used in the industrial process of dry extraction. MEAA is used as an antibacterial agent and has been shown to be effective against a number of bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MEAA binds to fatty acids, disrupting their structure and inhibiting bacterial growth. It also inhibits fatty acid synthesis in bacteria, which leads to cell death by disruption of membrane integrity. The carboxylate group on MEAA can act as a diluent for other more reactive chemicals, such as formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde.</p>Formula:C7H12O3Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:144.17 g/mol
