| Methyl decanoate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Clear colorless liquid | | Uses | Intermediate for detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, stabilizers, resins, lubricants, plasticizers. | | Uses | It is employed as an intermediate for caproic acid, detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, stabilizers, resins, lubricants, plasticizers and flavoring. As a chemical intermediate for alkanolamides, fatty alcohols & acids. | | Definition | ChEBI: Methyl decanoate is a fatty acid methyl ester and a decanoate ester. It is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. | | Preparation | Methyl decanoate is prepared by esterification of capric acid with methanol or alcoholysis of coconut oil, purified by fractional vacuum distillation. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 46, p. 3936, 1981 DOI: 10.1021/jo00332a045Synthesis, p. 899, 1981 DOI: 10.1055/s-1981-29640 | | General Description | Methyl decanoate is reported to occur in parmesan cheese, sparkling wine and banana. | | Flammability and Explosibility | Nonflammable | | Purification Methods | Pass the ester through alumina before use and distil in a vacuum.
