Methyl trans,trans-farnesate - Introduction

Trans-farnesyl acid methyl ester is an organic compound with the chemical formula C15H24O2. The following is an introduction to its nature, use, formulation and safety information:

Nature:
Trans-farnesyl acid methyl ester is a colorless to yellow liquid with a special odor. It has a density of 0.88g/cm³, a boiling point of 208-209°C, and a low vapor pressure. It is almost insoluble in water at normal temperature and soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.

Use:
trans-farnesyl acid methyl ester is mainly used in the manufacture of spices and food additives. It has a floral and fruity flavor and is often used in flavors and spices to add fragrance to the product. In addition, it can also be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and a cosmetic raw material.

Preparation Method:
The preparation method of trans-farnesyl acid methyl ester is usually obtained by chemical synthesis. First, an appropriate amount of 2,6, 10-dodecenoic acid is reacted with methanol, and a suitable acid catalyst is added to promote the reaction. Reaction temperature and reaction time may affect yield and product purity.

Safety Information:
Trans-farnesyl acid methyl ester does not pose a fatal risk under normal conditions of use. However, it is still a chemical substance, so the relevant safety procedures should be followed. Wear appropriate goggles and gloves to avoid inhalation or contact with skin. Fire and high temperatures should be avoided during storage and handling.

It is worth noting that the above information is for reference only and is not a substitute for detailed laboratory or manufacturer-provided safety data sheets and operating instructions. Always follow proper safe operating procedures when using or handling any chemicals.
