Hexyl pivalate

Description:
Hexyl pivalate, with the CAS number 5434-57-1, is an ester formed from hexanol and pivalic acid. It is characterized by its pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in the fragrance and flavoring industries. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its relatively low volatility and good solubility in organic solvents. Hexyl pivalate has a moderate boiling point and is stable under normal conditions, although it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and strong acids or bases. Its chemical structure features a branched pivalate group, which contributes to its unique properties, including a lower freezing point compared to linear esters. Hexyl pivalate is often employed as a plasticizer and in formulations for cosmetics and personal care products due to its skin-friendly characteristics. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, to avoid potential irritation or adverse effects.
