Hexanoic acid, 2-methoxy-4-methylene-5-oxo-, methyl ester

Description:
Hexanoic acid, 2-methoxy-4-methylene-5-oxo-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 87497-11-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a complex structure that includes a hexanoic acid backbone. This compound typically exhibits a moderate molecular weight and is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its ester nature, while its solubility in water may be limited due to the hydrophobic hexanoic acid chain. The presence of the methoxy and methylene groups suggests potential reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution or addition reactions. Additionally, the keto group (5-oxo) may influence its chemical behavior, including its reactivity in condensation reactions. Hexanoic acid derivatives are often studied for their applications in flavoring, fragrance, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken due to potential irritant properties.
