:Heptanoic acid, 6-methyl-, ethyl ester
Description:
Heptanoic acid, 6-methyl-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 6-methylheptanoate, is an ester derived from heptanoic acid and ethanol. It is characterized by its fruity odor, which makes it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The molecular structure features a heptanoic acid backbone with a methyl group at the sixth carbon position, contributing to its unique properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Heptanoic acid, 6-methyl-, ethyl ester is often utilized in the food industry for flavoring, as well as in the production of various chemical intermediates. Its boiling point and other physical properties can vary based on environmental conditions and purity. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its parent acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
