2-Methyl-2-hexenoic acid

Description:
2-Methyl-2-hexenoic acid, with the CAS number 28897-58-7, is an unsaturated carboxylic acid characterized by a double bond in its carbon chain. It features a six-carbon backbone with a methyl group attached to the second carbon and a double bond between the second and third carbons. This structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in addition reactions typical of alkenes. 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. 2-Methyl-2-hexenoic acid is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the polar nature of the carboxylic acid group. This compound is of interest in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
