CAS 5343-52-2

2-Ethyl-2-methylpentanoic acid

Description:

2-Ethyl-2-methylpentanoic acid, with the CAS number 5343-52-2, is a branched-chain carboxylic acid characterized by its unique structure, which includes a five-carbon backbone with both ethyl and methyl substituents on the second carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinct, pungent odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chains. The acid group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and neutralization. 2-Ethyl-2-methylpentanoic acid is often used in the synthesis of esters for flavoring and fragrance applications, as well as in the production of surfactants and plasticizers. Its branched structure contributes to its relatively low volatility and high boiling point compared to straight-chain carboxylic acids of similar molecular weight. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
