FAQs
What is methyl hexanoate used for in laboratories?
It’s primarily used as a solvent in organic synthesis, as a reference standard in gas chromatography, and in flavor chemistry research due to its fruity odor profile.
How should I store methyl hexanoate?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Proper storage maintains its purity for extended periods.
Is this methyl hexanoate food grade?
No, this is specifically labeled “For Synthesis” and is intended for laboratory use only. It hasn’t been certified for food or pharmaceutical applications.
What’s the difference between methyl hexanoate and other esters?
Methyl hexanoate has a six-carbon chain, giving it specific physical properties like a fruity odor and particular retention times in chromatography that differ from shorter or longer chain esters.
Can I buy methyl hexanoate in smaller quantities?
This listing is for the 500 mL pack size. For different quantities, please contact eqipped’s customer support to check availability of alternative packaging options.
