CAS 5299-60-5: Ethyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate

Description:Ethyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate, with the CAS number 5299-60-5, is an ester derived from hexanoic acid and ethanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant fruity odor, characteristic of many esters. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hexanoate chain. Ethyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate is known for its applications in the flavor and fragrance industry, where it is used to impart fruity notes in various products. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of other chemical compounds. The presence of the hydroxy group contributes to its reactivity, allowing for potential participation in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and transesterification. 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. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
