CAS 68039-26-9
:Pentyl 2-methylbutanoate
Description:
Pentyl 2-methylbutanoate, with the CAS number 68039-26-9, is an ester formed from the reaction of pentanol and 2-methylbutanoic acid. This compound typically exhibits a fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is characteristic of many esters. The molecular structure features a pentyl group attached to the 2-methylbutanoate moiety, contributing to its unique properties. Pentyl 2-methylbutanoate has a moderate boiling point and a relatively low vapor pressure, indicating that it can exist as a liquid under standard conditions. Its stability under normal conditions makes it suitable for various industrial applications, including use in food flavorings and perfumes. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, leading to the formation of the corresponding alcohol and acid. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.
