2-Methylheptanoic acid

Description:

2-Methylheptanoic acid, with the CAS number 1188-02-9, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its seven-carbon backbone and a methyl group located at the second carbon position. This structure contributes to its unique properties compared to straight-chain fatty acids. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Methylheptanoic acid is known for its applications in the synthesis of esters, which are used in flavoring and fragrance industries, as well as in the production of surfactants and lubricants. Additionally, it can serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis and is studied for its potential biological activities. The acid can undergo typical reactions of carboxylic acids, including esterification and neutralization, making it versatile in various chemical processes. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
