2,4-Octadienoic acid, commonly known as sorbic acid, is an unsaturated fatty acid characterized by its two double bonds located at the 2nd and 4th carbon positions of the octadienoic chain. This compound is typically found in a cis configuration, specifically the (E,E)-isomer, which indicates that the double bonds are in the trans configuration relative to the longest carbon chain. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a slightly pungent odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The presence of double bonds contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and as a precursor for the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, 2,4-octadienoic acid is known for its antimicrobial properties, which makes it valuable in food preservation and as a food additive. Its applications extend to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, where it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various products.
