:Heptanoic acid, 2-oxo-
Description:
Heptanoic acid, 2-oxo- (CAS 13088-48-7), is a carboxylic acid characterized by a seven-carbon chain with a ketone functional group at the second carbon position. This compound is part of the fatty acid family and exhibits properties typical of both carboxylic acids and ketones. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as fatty or waxy. Heptanoic acid, 2-oxo- is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. The presence of the carboxylic acid group allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation. This compound is of interest in biochemical research and industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis of esters and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Its behavior in biological systems may also be relevant, as it can influence metabolic pathways. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
