Heptanoic acid, 3-oxo-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester

Description:
Heptanoic acid, 3-oxo-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 66696-98-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from heptanoic acid and a ketone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the 3-oxo group indicates that it contains a carbonyl functional group adjacent to the ester, which can influence its reactivity and properties. Heptanoic acid derivatives are often used in the synthesis of various chemicals, including fragrances, flavorings, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The compound may exhibit moderate volatility and can be flammable, necessitating careful handling and storage. Additionally, it may have applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, although specific uses can vary based on its reactivity and functional characteristics.
