Acetic acid, (3-methylphenoxy)-, ethyl ester

Description:

Acetic acid, (3-methylphenoxy)-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 66047-01-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. This compound features a 3-methylphenoxy group, which is derived from 3-methylphenol, indicating the presence of a methyl group on the aromatic ring. As an ester, it is formed through the reaction of acetic acid and an alcohol, in this case, ethyl alcohol. The structure contributes to its properties, including moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents. Typically, esters like this one exhibit pleasant, fruity odors and are often used in flavoring and fragrance applications. Additionally, they may serve as intermediates in chemical synthesis or as solvents in various industrial processes. The presence of the aromatic ring can also influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as esters can vary in toxicity and environmental impact.
