:

ethyl (4-fluorophenyl)acetate

Description:
Ethyl (4-fluorophenyl)acetate, with the CAS number 587-88-2, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes an ethyl group, an acetate moiety, and a para-fluorophenyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. Ethyl (4-fluorophenyl)acetate is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its chemical properties include a relatively low boiling point and a moderate vapor pressure, indicating volatility. The presence of the fluorine atom in the para position of the phenyl ring can influence its reactivity and stability, often enhancing lipophilicity and altering biological activity. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of the corresponding acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
