CAS 88255-55-4
:Hexanoic acid, 2,2,3-trimethyl-3-propyl-, methyl ester
Description:
Hexanoic acid, 2,2,3-trimethyl-3-propyl-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 88255-55-4, is an ester derived from hexanoic acid and a specific branched alcohol. This compound typically exhibits a moderate molecular weight and is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long carbon chain, which influences its solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. It has a distinct fatty odor, common to many esters, and is often used in flavoring and fragrance applications. The branched structure contributes to its unique physical properties, such as lower volatility compared to linear esters. Additionally, it may have applications in the production of surfactants, lubricants, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data sheets indicate that it should be handled with care, as with many organic compounds, due to potential irritant properties. Overall, this compound exemplifies the characteristics typical of fatty acid esters, including stability under normal conditions and reactivity in specific chemical environments.
