CAS 7778-87-2
:Propyl heptanoate
Description:
Propyl heptanoate, with the CAS number 7778-87-2, is an ester formed from the reaction of propanol and heptanoic acid. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity odor, which makes it useful in the flavor and fragrance industries. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. Propyl heptanoate is relatively non-toxic and has low volatility, contributing to its stability in various applications. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The substance is often utilized in food flavoring, perfumery, and as a solvent in chemical processes. Additionally, it may be involved in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its constituent alcohol and acid. Proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its quality and prevent degradation.
