Structure of Methyl 5-oxohexanoate, CAS 13984-50-4 — Structure · C7H12O3

CAS number: 13984-50-4
Molecular formula: C₇H₁₂O₃
Molecular weight: 144.17 g/mol
Standard packing: 1kg / 25kg / 100kg

CAS 13984-50-4, Methyl 5-oxohexanoate, is a C7H12O3 ester – the protected form of the corresponding acid.

Methyl and ethyl esters of this size also serve as enolate equivalents in Claisen and alkylation chemistry, where the ester stabilises the carbanion.

The formula C7H12O3 resolves to 7 carbons with 3 oxygens. At 7 carbons the entry is an oil or a low-melting solid, and it is handled at ambient temperature in most steps.

Handling and storage

Store neutral, dry and closed. The free acid that appears on hydrolysis is the impurity to check on a lot that has been open for months.

Ordering

Standard packing 1kg / 25kg / 100kg. Other unit weights are quoted per lot and confirmed in writing before the material is packed. Assay is lot specific and stated on the certificate; no catalogue grade is implied where no assay is held on file.
