Description and Uses
Methyl pentanoate, commonly known as methyl valerate, is the methyl ester of pentanoic acid (valeric acid) with a fruity odor.
Methyl pentanoate is commonly used in fragrances, beauty care, soap, laundry detergents at levels of 0.1 – 1 % .
In a very pure form ( greater than 99.5 % ) it is used as a plasticizer in the manufacture of plastics.
It is also used as an insecticide.
Methyl valerate can be used:
- In the preparation of lankacidin C 8-valerate.
- As a reactant to synthesize bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) 2-oxoalkylphosphonates.
- As a substrate in the fluorination reactions of unactivated C(sp3)H bonds using decatungstate photocatalyst and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide.
