2-Ketocaproic acid methyl ester

Description:
2-Ketocaproic acid methyl ester, also known as methyl 2-oxopentanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a ketone located on the second carbon of a five-carbon chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. The compound is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of both the ketone and ester functional groups, allowing for various chemical transformations. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors.

    Methyl 2-oxohexanoate

    CAS:
    <p>Methyl 2-oxohexanoate is a synthetic chemical that is used as a solvent in organic synthesis. It can be deuterated to produce a deuterated derivative, which has been shown to have improved stability in an organic environment. Methyl 2-oxohexanoate has been used as the starting material for the asymmetric synthesis of some medicinal drugs, including the anti-inflammatory drug piroxicam. This chemical also has been shown to have anticancer activity due to its ability to inhibit fatty acid synthase and nutrient uptake in pancreatic cancer cells.</p>
