 |  | Methyl trans-2-nonenoate Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Description | Methyl 2-nonenoate has a characteristic violet-like odor. May be
obtained in quantitative yields by treating methyl P-chlorocaproate
with sodium acetate, or by dehydrogenating the corresponding
saturated ester. |  | Physical properties | Methyl trans-2-nonenoate is colorless to slightly yellow liquid;strong violet-leaf odor. Stable; soluble in alco-hol. Combustible. |  | Chemical Properties | Methyl 2-Nonenoate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid
with a green, floral note. It imparts freshness to floral fragrance compositions
and is recommended as a substitute for methyl 2-octynoate.The synthesis consists
of a condensation of heptanal withmalonic acid, decarboxylation, and subsequent
esterification with methanol. |  | Occurrence | Methyl trans-2-nonenoate has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. |  | Uses | Perfumes. |  | Definition | ChEBI: Methyl 2-nonenoate is a fatty acid ester. |  | Preparation | Obtained in quantitative yields by treating methyl β-chlorocaproate with sodium acetate, or by dehydrogenating the corresponding saturated ester. |  | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: green, waxy, oily, fruity, watermelon rind, pear- and apple-like. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 54, p. 1831, 1989 DOI: 10.1021/jo00269a017 Synthetic Communications, 24, p. 2069, 1994 DOI: 10.1080/00397919408010217 Tetrahedron Letters, 30, p. 6555, 1989 DOI: 10.1016/S0040-4039(01)89020-1 |  | Flammability and Explosibility | Notclassified |  | Trade name | Neofolione (Givaudan). |  | Metabolism | 2-Nonenoic acid produced by the hydrolysis of methyl nonylenate will presumably pass through the normal pathways of fatty acid metabolism (Lehninger, 1970) |
