Ethyl 3-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentanoate, with the CAS number 7403-65-8, is an ester compound characterized by its fruity odor and is often used in flavoring and fragrance applications. This compound features a branched alkyl chain, which contributes to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, exhibiting moderate volatility. The presence of the hydroxy group (–OH) in its structure imparts some degree of polarity, influencing its solubility in various solvents; it is generally soluble in organic solvents but less so in water. Ethyl 3-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentanoate is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its chemical reactivity is primarily associated with the ester functional group, allowing it to participate in transesterification and other reactions typical of esters. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, it is not classified as highly hazardous. Proper handling and storage are recommended to ensure safety and maintain its integrity.
