:Heptanoic acid, 2-(benzoyloxy)-, methyl ester
Description:
Heptanoic acid, 2-(benzoyloxy)-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 87532-09-0, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from heptanoic acid and benzoyl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic heptanoic acid chain. The presence of the benzoyloxy group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and potentially in the production of fragrances or flavoring agents. Its molecular structure contributes to its properties, including moderate volatility and stability under standard conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Overall, this compound exemplifies the characteristics of esters, combining fatty acid properties with aromatic functionalities.
