Ethyl caproate

M-Hexyl alcohol has been prepared by the reduction of ethyl caproate by means of sodium and absolute alcohoB alone or in anhydrous ammonia solution by the reduction of -caproamide by means of sodium and absolute alcohol by the reduction of -caproaldehyde by means of sodium amalgam in dilute sulfuric acid and by means of living yeast, It has also been produced by the action of nitrous acid upon w-hexylamine by the action of sodium upon a mixture of ethyl alcohol and M-butyl alcohol ... 

Methylsulfinyl -pentyl ketone is prepared by the reaction of the reagent (0.1 mole) and 7.2 g (0.05 mole) of ethyl caproate yielding the crude product as a pasty crystalline mass. The material is dissolved in hot isopropyl ether (20 ml), petroleum ether (30 ml) is added, and the solution cooled to -15°. Filtration yields approx. 6 g of white plates, mp 40-44°. Recrystallization from isopropyl ether affords pure product, mp 45-47°.

Using the same approach, we can combine all other important volatile ingredients of a strawberry to form specific bases. All fruity esters like ethyl butyrate, ethyl caproate or ethyl isobutyrate can be combined to a fruity base , and all caramel-like ingredients to a caramel base , and so on. Finally, all major flavour characters of a strawberry can be obtained by appropriate combination of only a few bases.

The method described is that of Hampton, Harris, and Hauser2 and is an improvement over the earlier procedures 4 of Hauser and co-workers, which employed potassium amide. 2,4-Nonanedione has been prepared by the condensation of ethyl caproate with acetone in the presence of sodium hydride (54-80%), 5,6 and by the acylation of ethyl acetoacetate followed by cleavage and decarboxylation (51%).7 Other preparations include the acetylation of 2-heptanone with ethyl acetate and...

In a modified Claisen flask set up for distillation are placed 14.4 g. (0.1 mole) of ethyl caproate and 3.4 g. (0.05 mole) of dry sodium ethoxide, and the contents are heated to 90-95° under a pressure of 75-80 mm. for 7-8 hours. Under these conditions ethanol is removed from the reaction mixture at an even rate. After cooling the product is treated with 10 g. of 30% aqueous acetic acid and shaken until the sodium salt is decomposed. The reaction mixture is extracted with 25 ml. of benzene, and the extract is washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and distilled. Ethyl a-caproylcaproate, b.p. 132-133°/5 mm., 1.4351, is obtained in 80% yield.
