CAS 88332-33-6

Decanoic acid, 1,5-dimethyl-2-(3-methylbutyl)hexyl ester

Description:

Decanoic acid, 1,5-dimethyl-2-(3-methylbutyl)hexyl ester, identified by the CAS number 88332-33-6, is an ester derived from decanoic acid and a specific alcohol. This compound typically exhibits characteristics common to esters, such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is typical for larger esters. The molecular structure suggests it has a relatively high molecular weight, contributing to its potential applications in various fields, including food flavoring, fragrances, and possibly as a surfactant or emulsifier in cosmetic formulations. Its unique branching in the alkyl chain may influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and viscosity, making it suitable for specific industrial applications. Additionally, like many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, leading to the release of the corresponding alcohol and acid. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
