Methyl (E)-2-octenoate

Description:
Methyl (E)-2-octenoate, with the CAS number 7367-81-9, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of eight carbon atoms, and features a double bond in the trans configuration (E) between the second and third carbon atoms. This structural arrangement contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. Methyl (E)-2-octenoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it of interest in the flavor and fragrance industries. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. The compound is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the double bond, allowing for various chemical transformations, such as hydrogenation or polymerization. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
