Description
Ethyl caproate (also ethyl hexanoate) is naturally found in the fruits of Ananas sativus. It can be synthesized by the direct esterification of caproic acid with ethyl alcohol. It has strong, sweet-ethereal like pineapple odor, with nuances of banana and strawberry.
Ethyl caproate is approved by the FDA for food use (as a flavoring agent in desserts and beverages) without hazard to public health. Ethyl Caproate is used to synthesize novel EP2/EP4 dual agonist of γ-lactam prostaglandin E1 analogs. It is also used as a chemical reagent in the synthesis of PPARα antagonists in the treatment of metabolic diseases.

Uses
Ethyl Caproate is used in the synthesis of novel EP2/EP4 dual agonist of γ-lactam prostaglandin E1 analogs. Also used as a chemical reagent in the synthesis of PPARα antagonists in the treatment of metabolic diseases. Ethyl hexanoate may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in wine and beer samples by chromatography based techniques. manufacture of artificial fruit flavors.
