:Pentanoic acid, 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl-, methyl ester
Description:
Pentanoic acid, 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2,2,3,3-tetramethylpentanoate, is an ester derived from pentanoic acid and methanol. This compound features a branched alkyl chain, which contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fruity odor. The presence of multiple methyl groups in its structure enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. This compound is often used in the synthesis of various chemicals and as a flavoring agent due to its pleasant aroma. Its boiling point and melting point are influenced by the branching of the carbon chain, which can affect its volatility and stability. Additionally, like many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its parent acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
