methyl 6-oxohexanoate

Description:
Methyl 6-oxohexanoate, with the CAS number 6654-36-0, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a six-carbon chain. It features a ketone group at the sixth carbon position, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. Methyl 6-oxohexanoate is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. It is often used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and flavoring agents. The presence of the ketone group allows for further chemical modifications, making it a versatile building block in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
