Isotetradecanoic acid

Description:
Isotetradecanoic acid, also known as 2-methyltridecanoic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a methyl group at the second carbon position. This structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. Isotetradecanoic acid is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is known for its applications in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound exhibits typical fatty acid behavior, including the ability to form esters and amides. Its melting and boiling points are influenced by its branched structure, which generally leads to lower melting points compared to straight-chain fatty acids of similar carbon length. Additionally, isotetradecanoic acid may have implications in biochemistry and nutrition, although its specific biological roles are less well-studied compared to more common fatty acids.
