:3-Methylpentyl 2-methylpropanoate
Description:
3-Methylpentyl 2-methylpropanoate, with the CAS number 84254-84-2, is an ester compound formed from the reaction of 3-methylpentanol and 2-methylpropanoic acid. This substance typically exhibits a pleasant, fruity odor, which is characteristic of many esters, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The molecular structure features a branched alkyl chain, contributing to its unique properties and reactivity. Esters like 3-methylpentyl 2-methylpropanoate are known for their relatively low boiling points compared to their corresponding acids and alcohols, and they can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and an acid or base catalyst. Additionally, this compound may be used in various industrial applications, including the production of perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings, due to its appealing sensory characteristics. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
