2,6-Dodecanedione, 5-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-

Description:

2,6-Dodecanedione, 5-[(acetyloxy)methyl]- is an organic compound characterized by its dicarbonyl structure, featuring two ketone functional groups located at the 2 and 6 positions of a dodecane chain. The presence of an acetyloxy group at the 5-position introduces an ester functionality, which can influence the compound's reactivity and solubility. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, indicative of its ketone and ester groups. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate solubility in water due to the hydrophilic nature of the acetyloxy group. The compound is of interest in various applications, including flavoring and fragrance industries, as well as in synthetic organic chemistry for the development of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted, as compounds with carbonyl groups can be irritants and may pose health risks upon exposure. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to ensure safety and stability.
