Methyl 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoate, with the CAS number 2282-84-0, is an aromatic ester characterized by its pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in the fragrance and flavor industry. This compound features a benzoate structure, where a methyl group is attached to the benzene ring at the 2, 4, and 6 positions, along with a methoxy group (–OCH3) at the carboxyl end. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, exhibiting low solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Methyl 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoate is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its chemical properties include a relatively low boiling point and moderate volatility, which contribute to its application in perfumery and as a flavoring agent. Additionally, it may be used in various chemical syntheses and as an intermediate in the production of other organic compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
