Ethyl (Z)-4-decenoate is an ester characterized by its long carbon chain and unsaturation, specifically featuring a double bond in the cis configuration at the fourth carbon from the carboxyl end. This compound has a molecular formula that reflects its structure, comprising carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Ethyl (Z)-4-decenoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fruity odor, making it of interest in flavor and fragrance applications. Its boiling point and solubility properties suggest it is relatively non-polar, allowing it to dissolve in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity, particularly in addition reactions, and it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of acids or bases. This compound is also used in organic synthesis and may serve as a building block for more complex molecules. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
