CAS 66762-68-3

Butanoic acid, 4-methoxy-3-oxo-, ethyl ester

Description:

Butanoic acid, 4-methoxy-3-oxo-, ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 66762-68-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from butanoic acid and an ethyl alcohol moiety. This compound features a butanoic acid backbone with a methoxy group and a keto group at specific positions on the aromatic ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, making it potentially useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The presence of the methoxy and keto groups enhances its reactivity, allowing for various chemical transformations. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water, which is common for esters. Additionally, this compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
