CAS 7492-69-5

Phenylmethyl 2,3-dimethyl-2-butenoate

Description:

Phenylmethyl 2,3-dimethyl-2-butenoate, also known by its CAS number 7492-69-5, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is formed from the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. This compound features a phenylmethyl group, indicating the presence of a phenyl ring attached to a methyl group, along with a 2,3-dimethyl-2-butenoate moiety that contributes to its structural complexity. The presence of double bonds in the butenoate portion suggests that it may exhibit reactivity typical of alkenes, such as undergoing addition reactions. This compound is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor, typical of many esters. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water is consistent with the behavior of similar organic esters. Additionally, it may have applications in the fragrance industry or as an intermediate in organic synthesis, although specific applications would depend on its reactivity and properties in various chemical contexts.
