:ethyl hex-5-enoate
Description:
Ethyl hex-5-enoate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically derived from hex-5-enoic acid and ethanol. It features a carbon chain with a double bond located at the fifth carbon, contributing to its unsaturation. The molecular structure includes a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail and a polar ester functional group, which influences its solubility properties. Ethyl hex-5-enoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it potentially useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. Its boiling point and density are characteristic of esters, and it is generally less dense than water. This compound can participate in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and esterification, making it valuable in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, it may exhibit reactivity towards nucleophiles due to the presence of the carbonyl group in the ester functional group. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
