:Heptanoic acid
Description:
Heptanoic acid, also known as enanthic acid, is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid with the molecular formula C7H14O2. It is characterized by a seven-carbon aliphatic chain with a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at one end. This compound is a colorless, oily liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive, rancid odor. Heptanoic acid is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It has a relatively low melting point and boiling point compared to longer-chain fatty acids. Heptanoic acid is used in various applications, including the production of esters for flavoring and fragrance, as well as in the synthesis of surfactants and lubricants. Additionally, it can be found in some animal fats and vegetable oils, contributing to their flavor profiles. Its CAS number, 111-14-8, is a unique identifier that facilitates the identification and regulation of this chemical in various industries.
