General description
Methyl valerate is a methyl ester of valeric acid, generally used as a fragrance in the manufacture of soaps and laundry detergents. It is also used as a plasticizer and surrogate component for biodiesel.
Application
Methyl valerate can be used:
- In the preparation of lankacidin C 8-valerate.
- As a reactant to synthesize bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) 2-oxoalkylphosphonates.
- As a substrate in the fluorination reactions of unactivated C(sp3)H bonds using decatungstate photocatalyst and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide.
