Ethyl valerate

Description:
Ethyl valerate, with the CAS number 539-82-2, is an ester formed from the reaction of ethyl alcohol and valeric acid. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity aroma, often likened to that of pineapple or apple, making it a popular choice in the flavor and fragrance industries. Ethyl valerate is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its molecular formula is C7H14O2, and it has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility. Ethyl valerate is used not only in food flavoring but also in the production of perfumes and as a solvent in various chemical applications. Additionally, it can be involved in chemical synthesis and research due to its reactivity as an ester. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
