:Methyl 5-methyl-2-hexenoate
Description:
Methyl 5-methyl-2-hexenoate, with the CAS number 75513-56-3, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a methyl ester functional group and a hexenoate backbone featuring a double bond. This compound typically exhibits a pleasant, fruity odor, making it of interest in the flavor and fragrance industries. Methyl 5-methyl-2-hexenoate is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. Its solubility in organic solvents is generally high, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the hydrocarbon chain. The presence of the double bond in its structure contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as polymerization and addition reactions. As with many esters, it may also undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
