What is METHYL 2-OCTYNOATE?

Description

Methyl 2-octynoate has an odor similar to violets on dilution, and if concentrated, a powerful and unpleasant odor. It has a wineberry flavor (muscatel). It may be prepared from heptaldehyde via heptyne and heptyne carboxylic acid; the acid is subsequently esterified.

Chemical properties

Colorless liquid; strong violet-type odor. Sol-uble in most fixed oils and mineral oil; soluble infive parts of 70% alcohol. Combustible.

General Description

Methyl 2-octynoate has been quantitated as suspected allergen in cosmetic products by headspace-programmed temperature vaporization-fast gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry. It participates in nickel-catalyzed carbocyclization of 2-iodoacetophenone to yield a 2,3-disubstituted indenol.

Trade name

Folione® (Givaudan).

Contact allergens

This perfumed molecule belongs to the list of 26 allergens that have to be indicated by name on the ingredients list of cosmetics in the EU

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion and skin contact. A moderate skin and eye irritant. A combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
