CAS 547-63-7: Methyl isobutyrate
Description:Methyl isobutyrate, with the CAS number 547-63-7, is an ester that is commonly used as a solvent and in flavoring applications due to its fruity odor, reminiscent of apples or pears. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The chemical formula for methyl isobutyrate is C5H10O2, and it is characterized by its relatively low boiling point and moderate volatility. This compound is produced through the esterification of isobutyric acid with methanol. Methyl isobutyrate is known for its low toxicity, making it suitable for use in food and cosmetic products. However, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Its applications extend beyond flavoring to include use in coatings, adhesives, and as a chemical intermediate in various industrial processes. Overall, methyl isobutyrate is valued for its pleasant aroma and versatility in different chemical applications.
