Pelargonic acid methyl ester(CAS#1731-84-6)
Pelargonic acid methyl ester(CAS#1731-84-6)
Properties
Methyl nonanoate is also known as pelargonic acid methyl ester(CAS#1731-84-6). Here are some properties of methyl nonanoate:
1. Appearance: Methyl nonanoate is a colorless liquid with no special odor.
2. Solubility: Methyl nonanoate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, and ether, and slightly soluble in water.
3. Density: The density of methyl nonanoate is about 0.88 g/mL.
4. Stability: Methyl nonanoate is relatively stable and not easily decomposed at room temperature. It is sensitive to light and air, easily oxidized and degraded, so contact with air should be avoided during storage and use.
5. Applications: Methyl nonanoate is commonly used as a solvent, lubricant, and plastic additive. It can also be used in the synthesis of surfactants, fragrances, preservatives, and other chemicals.
Application
Pelargonic acid methyl ester (CAS 1731-84-6), also known as methyl nonanoate or methyl pelargonate, is a colorless liquid with a sweet, fruity, coconut-like and winey odor. It is naturally found in citrus oils and various fruits. In the flavor industry, it is used as a flavoring agent (FEMA 2724) to impart fruity, grape, and coconut notes to beverages, baked goods, candy, ice cream, and chewing gum. In the fragrance industry, it contributes a fresh, fruity, and slightly fatty nuance to perfumes, colognes, soaps, and detergents. It also serves as a plasticizer for nitrocellulose and as a solvent in coatings, printing inks, and industrial cleaning formulations. Additionally, it is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and other organic chemicals. Its high solvency and low volatility make it valuable in specialty applications.
