Ethyl 2-oxohexanoate

Description:

Ethyl 2-oxohexanoate, also known as ethyl 2-oxohexanoic acid or ethyl 2-oxohexanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it appealing in flavor and fragrance applications. The compound features a six-carbon chain with a ketone functional group at the second carbon and an ester group at the terminal carbon, contributing to its reactivity and versatility in organic synthesis. Ethyl 2-oxohexanoate is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity, which influences its interactions in various chemical reactions. It can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon. This compound is often utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in organic chemistry. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.

Ethyl 2-oxohexanoate is a reactive, organic solvent that is used in the production of polymeric matrix for implants. It has been shown to enhance the activity of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and vinyl alcohol in animal studies. Ethyl 2-oxohexanoate exhibits antibacterial properties against P. aeruginosa under constant temperature and water vapor conditions. This compound also has a viscosity similar to human plasma, which could be beneficial in the development of new surgical treatments for vitreous detachment, such as a vitrectomy. Covid-19 is an influenza pandemic that emerged during the 2009 flu pandemic. Covid-19 is resistant to oseltamivir and zanamivir, but not gatifloxacin or ethyl 2-oxohexanoate.
