Isobutyl 2-ethylhexanoate

Description:
Isobutyl 2-ethylhexanoate, with the CAS number 7434-89-1, is an ester formed from isobutanol and 2-ethylhexanoic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It has a moderate boiling point and is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is typical for esters. Isobutyl 2-ethylhexanoate is known for its low toxicity and is often used in cosmetic formulations, as well as in the production of coatings and adhesives due to its favorable solvent properties. Additionally, it exhibits good stability under normal conditions, although it should be stored away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources. Its chemical structure contributes to its relatively low volatility and pleasant aroma, making it a popular choice in the food and fragrance industries. As with all chemicals, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed to minimize any potential risks.
