CAS 624-24-8
:Methyl pentanoate
Description:
Methyl pentanoate, with the CAS number 624-24-8, is an ester formed from the reaction of methanol and pentanoic acid. It is characterized by its fruity odor, which makes it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The molecular formula of methyl pentanoate is C6H12O2, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 116.16 g/mol. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while having limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic pentyl chain. Methyl pentanoate exhibits moderate volatility and can be flammable, necessitating careful handling. Its boiling point is higher than that of many simple esters, reflecting its larger molecular structure. In addition to its applications in the food and cosmetic industries, methyl pentanoate can also serve as a solvent and a reagent in organic synthesis. Overall, its pleasant aroma and chemical properties make it a valuable compound in various industrial applications.

CAS:Valeric acid methyl ester is a fatty acid that is synthesized by the oxidation of valeric acid. It has a hydroxyl group at the 3 position, which is an important factor for aminotransferase activity. Valeric acid methyl ester has been shown to inhibit the production of chloride in bacteria, which may be due to its ability to act as an inorganic acid and react with chloride ions. The reactions produce hydrogen gas and glycol ether, which are toxic to bacterial cells. Valeric acid methyl ester also inhibits the growth of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Escherichia coli. This substance also has anti-diabetic effects on diabetic neuropathy and kidney fibrosis in animal models.Formula:C6H12O2Purity:>98%Color and Shape:Clear LiquidMolecular weight:116.16 g/mol
