CAS 1119-63-7
:9-Methyldecanoic acid
Description:
9-Methyldecanoic acid, with the CAS number 1119-63-7, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain and a carboxylic acid functional group. It features a methyl group attached to the ninth carbon of a decanoic acid backbone, which contributes to its unique properties compared to straight-chain fatty acids. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature, while being soluble in organic solvents. Its molecular structure influences its melting and boiling points, which are generally higher than those of straight-chain fatty acids of similar carbon length. 9-Methyldecanoic acid is of interest in various applications, including the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, its branched structure may impart different physical and chemical properties, such as altered viscosity and reactivity, making it a subject of study in both industrial and academic research contexts.
