Allyl 2-ethylbutyrate

Description:

Allyl 2-ethylbutyrate, with the CAS number 7493-69-8, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is formed from the reaction of allyl alcohol and 2-ethylbutyric acid. This substance typically exhibits a fruity aroma, reminiscent of apples or pears, making it valuable in the flavor and fragrance industry. Its molecular structure includes a carbon chain that contributes to its characteristic scent and properties. Allyl 2-ethylbutyrate is generally colorless to pale yellow in appearance and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. It has a relatively low boiling point, which is typical for esters, and it is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Due to its pleasant fragrance, it is often used in food flavoring, perfumes, and cosmetic products. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.
