Butanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-, methyl ester

Description:

Butanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2,2-dimethylbutanoate, is an ester derived from butanoic acid and methanol. It is characterized by its fruity odor and is often used in flavoring and fragrance applications. The molecular structure features a butanoic acid backbone with two methyl groups attached to the second carbon, which contributes to its branched nature. This branching affects its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility. Typically, it is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Additionally, it is classified under various regulatory frameworks, necessitating proper labeling and safety measures during handling and use.
