3,7-Dimethyl-1-Octanol 1-Acetate(CAS#20780-49-8)

Introduction

-3,7-dimethyloctyl acetate. The following is an introduction to its properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information:Quality:Acetate-3,7-dimethyloctyl acetate is a colorless, transparent liquid with a fruit-like scent.Use:-3,7-dimethyloctyl acetate is widely used as a solvent and catalyst in organic synthesis reactions. It is commonly used in esterification, transesterification, condensation, and acid-catalyzed reactions in organic synthesis. DMPA is also used as an ingredient in perfumes and fragrances, as well as a raw material for dyes and dye intermediates.Preparation method:The preparation of -3,7-dimethyloctyl acetate is usually carried out by esterification reactions. A common method is to react 3,7-dimethylcaprylic acid with acetic acid under acidic conditions to produce acetate-3,7-dimethyloctyl ester and water. Acid catalysts such as sulfuric acid, sulfoxide chloride, or formic acid are often used to facilitate reactions.Safety Information:-3,7-dimethyloctyl acetate has good safety under general operating conditions. It is a flammable liquid and should be kept away from open flames and high temperatures.
