Ethyl 2-(2-methylphenoxy)acetate

Description:
Ethyl 2-(2-methylphenoxy)acetate, with the CAS number 93917-68-1, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from the reaction of ethyl acetate and 2-(2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it potentially useful in flavor and fragrance applications. Ethyl 2-(2-methylphenoxy)acetate is generally soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Its chemical structure includes an ethyl group, an acetate moiety, and a 2-methylphenoxy group, which contribute to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The compound may exhibit moderate volatility and should be handled with care, as with many organic solvents, to avoid inhalation or skin contact. As with any chemical substance, safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines.
