AMYL HEPTOATE - Introduction
Amyl Heptanoate, also known as octyl hexanoate, is an organic compound. Its molecular formula is C9H18O2, structural formula is CH3(CH2)3COOC6H11. Amyl Heptanoate is a colorless liquid with a special fruity flavor. The following is a description of the nature, use, formulation and safety information of Amyl Heptanoate:
Nature:
1. Physical properties: Amyl Heptanoate has low melting point and boiling point, low density and volatile.
2. Chemical properties: Amyl Heptanoate is stable at room temperature and does not react with acid and alkali. It is a flammable liquid that can form an explosive gas mixture with oxygen.
Use:
1. Amyl Heptanoate is widely used as a solvent and thinner, especially in printing inks, coatings, glues, detergents and other industries.
2. It can also be used to synthesize perfumes and flavors, and flavoring agents for food and beverages.
Preparation Method:
Amyl Heptanoate is generally prepared by the reaction of heptanoic acid with pentanol. This reaction needs to be carried out under the action of a catalyst (such as an acidic catalyst), and the reaction temperature is usually in the range of 100-150 degrees Celsius.
Safety Information:
1. Amyl Heptanoate is a flammable liquid and should be avoided in contact with open flames, high temperatures and fire sources.
2. Wear protective gloves, goggles and protective clothing during operation.
3. Amyl Heptanoate may be irritating to eyes and skin. If contact occurs, please rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical assistance.
4. Amyl Heptanoate should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from fire and oxidants.
