Butanoic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-, ethyl ester

Description:

Butanoic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from butanoic acid and ethanol. It features a branched alkyl chain, which contributes to its unique properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it of interest in flavor and fragrance applications. It has a relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the ester group imparts reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as hydrolysis and transesterification. Its molecular structure includes a butanoic acid backbone with two methyl groups at the 3-position, enhancing its steric hindrance and influencing its physical properties. Butanoic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-, ethyl ester is utilized in the synthesis of other chemicals and may also serve as a flavoring agent in food products. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.
