:Methyl 2-ethylhexanoate
Description:
Methyl 2-ethylhexanoate is an ester with the molecular formula C11H22O2, characterized by its pleasant fruity odor, which makes it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is typically synthesized through the esterification of 2-ethylhexanoic acid with methanol. Methyl 2-ethylhexanoate has a relatively low boiling point and moderate volatility, which contributes to its use in various industrial applications, including as a solvent and in the production of plasticizers. Additionally, it exhibits low toxicity, making it suitable for use in food and cosmetic products. However, like many esters, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Its chemical structure includes a branched alkyl chain, which influences its physical properties and reactivity, making it an interesting compound for both synthetic and applied chemistry.
