trans-2-Undecenoic acid

Description:
Trans-2-Undecenoic acid is a fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain and the presence of a double bond in the trans configuration. It has a molecular formula of C11H20O2, indicating it contains 11 carbon atoms, 20 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct fatty odor. The trans configuration of the double bond contributes to its unique physical properties, such as a higher melting point compared to its cis counterparts. Trans-2-Undecenoic acid is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in the synthesis of esters, and in the production of surfactants. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential antimicrobial properties. As with many fatty acids, it can undergo reactions typical of carboxylic acids, such as esterification and oxidation.
