Description:9-Decenoic acid, with the CAS number 14436-32-9, is a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid characterized by a carbon chain of nine carbon atoms and a double bond located at the ninth position from the carboxylic acid end. This structure classifies it as an unsaturated fatty acid, specifically an alkene due to the presence of the double bond. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive fatty odor. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and polymerization. 9-Decenoic acid is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is used in various applications, including the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and as a potential intermediate in the production of biofuels. Additionally, it may have applications in the food and cosmetic industries due to its fatty acid properties. As with many unsaturated fatty acids, it may exhibit biological activity, although specific health effects and applications require further investigation.
