Acetic acid, (5-methyl-2(3H)-furanylidene)-, ethyl ester

Description:

Acetic acid, (5-methyl-2(3H)-furanylidene)-, ethyl ester, with CAS number 88459-80-7, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from acetic acid and a furan derivative. This compound typically exhibits a pleasant, fruity odor, common to many esters, and is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid. Its structure includes a furan ring, which contributes to its aromatic properties, and a methyl group that can influence its reactivity and solubility. As an ester, it is expected to be relatively non-polar, making it soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. The compound may participate in various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis and transesterification, under appropriate conditions. Additionally, it may have applications in the flavor and fragrance industry, as well as in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards, as with any chemical substance.
