10-Methylundecanoic acid

Description:
10-Methylundecanoic acid, with the CAS number 2724-56-3, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a methyl group located at the tenth carbon atom. This structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature, and has a distinct fatty odor. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. Its branched structure can influence its melting and boiling points, making it less volatile compared to straight-chain fatty acids. 10-Methylundecanoic acid is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. This compound is of interest in various applications, including the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and as a potential building block in organic synthesis. Its unique characteristics make it a subject of study in both industrial and academic settings.
