CAS 88953-93-9
:Hexanoic acid, 3-(acetyloxy)-5-methyl-, ethyl ester
Description:
Hexanoic acid, 3-(acetyloxy)-5-methyl-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 88953-93-9, is an ester derived from hexanoic acid and 3-(acetyloxy)-5-methyl alcohol. This compound typically exhibits characteristics common to esters, such as a pleasant, fruity odor and a relatively low boiling point compared to its parent acids. It is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. The presence of the acetyloxy and ethyl groups contributes to its solubility in organic solvents while making it less soluble in water. Hexanoic acid derivatives are often used in the production of flavoring agents, fragrances, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The compound may also exhibit moderate toxicity, necessitating careful handling in laboratory and industrial settings. Its chemical structure suggests potential applications in the food and cosmetic industries, where esters are commonly utilized for their sensory properties. As with all chemical substances, safety data sheets should be consulted for specific handling and safety information.
