CAS 56922-74-8: trans-2-Hexenyl valerate

Description: Trans-2-Hexenyl valerate is an ester formed from the reaction of trans-2-hexenoic acid and valeric acid. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity aroma, making it a compound of interest in the flavor and fragrance industry. The molecular structure features a hexenyl group, which contributes to its unsaturation and potential reactivity, and a valerate moiety, which influences its physical properties. Typically, trans-2-Hexenyl valerate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a relatively low boiling point compared to larger esters. Its solubility in organic solvents is generally good, while its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic nature. The compound may exhibit stability under normal conditions but can be sensitive to light and air, leading to potential degradation over time. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, especially under acidic or basic conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
