cis-2-Octenoic acid

Description:
Cis-2-Octenoic acid, with the CAS number 1577-96-4, is an unsaturated fatty acid characterized by a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms in its carbon chain, which is in the cis configuration. This structural feature influences its physical and chemical properties, including its reactivity and melting point. The molecule consists of eight carbon atoms and has a carboxylic acid functional group, making it a member of the fatty acid family. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. Cis-2-Octenoic acid is known for its potential applications in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, including esters and other derivatives, and may also be involved in biological processes. Its unsaturation allows for further chemical modifications, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis and industrial applications.
