The captivating aromas that define our favorite foods and perfumes are often the result of complex molecular interactions. Central to many of these sensory experiences is the compound 2-Acetyl-1-methylpyrrole, identified by its CAS number 932-16-1. Understanding its chemical properties is key to appreciating its role as a vital flavor ingredient and fragrance intermediate. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a leading manufacturer in China, ensures the consistent quality and precise chemical profile required for its diverse applications.

Physically, 2-Acetyl-1-methylpyrrole typically presents as a colorless to light yellow or orange clear liquid. This appearance is an important indicator of its purity and stability. High purity, often exceeding 98% as determined by Gas Chromatography (GC), is crucial for its intended uses. Impurities can alter the delicate scent profile of a fragrance or the nuanced taste of a food product, making rigorous quality control essential. Our manufacturing processes are designed to achieve and maintain these high purity standards, ensuring that each batch meets exacting specifications.

The molecular structure, C7H9NO, with a molecular weight of approximately 123.15 g/mol, features a pyrrole ring—a five-membered aromatic heterocycle containing one nitrogen atom—substituted with a methyl group at the 1-position and an acetyl group at the 2-position. This specific arrangement of atoms is responsible for the compound's characteristic aroma and reactivity. The acetyl group, a carbonyl group bonded to a methyl group, is a common functional group in many aroma compounds, contributing to their distinctive scents.

Key physical properties, such as its boiling point (around 202 °C) and flash point (around 68 °C), are also critical for its safe handling, storage, and application in industrial settings. The relatively moderate flash point necessitates careful handling to prevent ignition sources, a standard safety protocol in chemical manufacturing and formulation. Its solubility in water and other solvents also plays a role in how effectively it can be incorporated into various product matrices, whether aqueous-based food formulations or alcohol-based perfumes.

At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we leverage advanced analytical techniques to confirm the identity and purity of our 2-Acetyl-1-methylpyrrole. By understanding and meticulously controlling these chemical properties, we ensure that our product consistently delivers the expected sensory profiles and performance characteristics. This dedication to scientific precision makes us a trusted partner for companies looking to enhance their products with high-quality aroma chemicals.
