Methyl 2-hexenoate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Methyl 2-hexenoate has a green, musty, earthy, sweet, fruity odor with a very powerful, sharp, green-fruity flavor. May be prepared by boiling the corresponding acid with methanol in the presence of concentrated H2S04 in chloroform and subsequent elimination of water from the vapors using MgS04; also from 3-chloropropionic acid methyl ester and anhydrous sodium acetate in acetic acid.
