| | Decanoic Acid Methyl Ester Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Methyl decanoate, a large methyl ester, is a clear colorless liquid. It can be used as a surrogate for the large methyl esters present in rapeseed and soybean derived biodiesel. | | Uses | Methyl decanoate is employed as an intermediate for caproic acid, detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, stabilizers, resins, lubricants, plasticizers and flavouring. As a chemical intermediate for alkanolamides, fatty alcohols, and 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/jo00332a045
Synthesis, 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 | Non flammable | | Purification Methods | Pass the ester through alumina before use and distil in a vacuum.
