Descripción

Methyl hexanoate is a fatty acid that is found in natural oils and fats, such as olive oil. It has a chemical structure of C6H12O2. Methyl hexanoate is used as a model system to study the reactions of organic compounds with hydroxyl groups. The kinetic data obtained from receptor cells show that methyl hexanoate reacts with acyl chains to form methyl myristate, which is an alkane with the molecular formula CH3(CH2)4CO2H. The reaction mechanism for this process includes the following steps: 1) deprotonation of methyl hexanoate by an acid catalyst; 2) elimination of water from the deprotonated molecule; 3) reaction of the resulting carboxylic acid with an acyl chain to produce an ester product; 4) elimination of water from the ester product to form a fatty acid.
