2-Methyldecanal

Description:
2-Methyldecanal is an organic compound classified as an aldehyde, characterized by its long carbon chain and the presence of a terminal carbonyl group. With the molecular formula C11H22O, it features a straight-chain structure with a methyl group attached to the second carbon of a decanal backbone. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as fatty or waxy. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Methyldecanal is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of fragrances. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and density, are influenced by its molecular structure, which contributes to its volatility and reactivity. As with many aldehydes, it can undergo oxidation to form corresponding carboxylic acids and can participate in various chemical reactions, making it a versatile compound in organic chemistry.
