General Description

Dipentyl succinate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C15H28O4 and a clear, colorless liquid. It is a member of the ester family, which are commonly used as solvents, plasticizers, and fragrance ingredients. Dipentyl succinate is often used in the production of cosmetics, personal care products, and fragrances, due to its low volatility and pleasant odor. It is also used as a flavoring agent in food products, and as a lubricant in industrial applications. Dipentyl succinate is considered to be a relatively safe compound, with low toxicity and minimal environmental impact.

EFFECT OF CYCLODEXTRIN ON INTERMOLECULAR PHOTOALKOXYCARBONYLMETHYLATION OF ANISOLE

The photolyses of anisole (1) and pentyl chloroacetate (2b) in isotropic media produce both alkylation products 3b-5b and dipentyl succinate (6b).In α- and β-CD complexes in aqueous solutions, 6b was absent and the o-alkylation product 3b was predominant.A cage effect and geometric control are attributed to the observed selective product distribution in α- and β-CD complexes in aqueous solutions.

A Mild, Simple, and Convenient Synthesis of Diesters from Malonyl or Succinyl Dichloride and Alcohols Catalyzed by Potassium Tetracarbonylhydridoferrate, KHFe(CO)4, as a New Catalyst

A large variety of alcohols react with acyl halides of dicarboxylic acids such as malonyl dichloride and succinyl dichloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetracarbonylhydridoferrate at room temperature under carbon monoxide or nitrogen to give the corresponding diesters in good yields.
