9-Oxodecanoic acid

Description:
9-Oxodecanoic acid, also known as nonanedioic acid or pelargonic acid, is a fatty acid characterized by a straight-chain structure with a carboxylic acid functional group at one end and a ketone group at the ninth carbon position. Its molecular formula is C10H18O3, and it features a carbon chain that contributes to its hydrophobic properties, while the carboxylic acid group imparts acidity and solubility in polar solvents. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 9-Oxodecanoic acid is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of surfactants, and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
