Cas no 624-45-3 (Methyl levulinate)

Methyl levulinate (methyl 4-oxopentanoate) is an ester derived from levulinic acid, with the molecular formula C?H??O?. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, ester-like odor. This compound is valued for its versatility as a green solvent, bio-based intermediate, and flavoring agent. Its key advantages include high biodegradability, low toxicity, and compatibility with renewable feedstocks, making it suitable for sustainable chemical processes. Methyl levulinate exhibits good solvency for resins, oils, and cellulose derivatives, and serves as a precursor in pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and fuel additives. Its stability under mild conditions and ease of handling further enhance its utility in industrial applications.
