CAS 623-42-7: Methyl butyrate
Description:Methyl butyrate is an ester formed from butyric acid and methanol, characterized by its fruity aroma, often reminiscent of apples or pineapples, making it popular in the food and fragrance industries. It has a molecular formula of C5H10O2 and a molecular weight of approximately 102.14 g/mol. Methyl butyrate is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its boiling point is relatively low, typically around 102-104°C, and it has a flash point of about 25°C, indicating it is flammable. This compound is used not only as a flavoring agent but also in the production of various chemical intermediates. In terms of safety, it is advisable to handle methyl butyrate with care, as it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon exposure. Overall, its pleasant scent and versatile applications make it a valuable compound in both industrial and consumer products.
