Ethyl 2-methylbenzoate

Description:

Ethyl 2-methylbenzoate, with the CAS number 87-24-1, is an aromatic ester characterized by its pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It is formed from the esterification of 2-methylbenzoic acid and ethanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is moderately soluble in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Ethyl 2-methylbenzoate has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility. Its chemical structure features a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and an ethyl ester functional group, which influences its reactivity and interactions. In terms of safety, it is advisable to handle this compound with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Additionally, it is important to store it in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition, as it is flammable. Overall, ethyl 2-methylbenzoate is a versatile compound with applications in various industries, particularly in the production of fragrances and flavorings.

Ethyl 2-toluate

CAS: 87-24-1

Ethyl 2-toluate is a fatty acid which belongs to the class of oxadiazoles. It has been shown to be an effective herbicide and is used in the control of weeds in rice paddies. The reaction products are chlorinated derivatives of ethyl 2-toluate, which have been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria. It also has been shown that this compound can be used as an acaricide, insecticide, and nematocide. The chloride group found on ethyl 2-toluate reacts with hydrogen molecules to form a hydrogen bond, which provides kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is transferred to the hexane molecule, causing it to break apart into its constituent carbonyl groups and alkylthio groups. These electrons are then transferred onto sulfonic acids such as benzoate, resulting in their decomposition.
