3-Heptenoic acid

Description:
3-Heptenoic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid characterized by a seven-carbon chain with a double bond located at the third carbon from the carboxylic acid end. Its molecular formula is C7H12O2, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) that imparts acidic properties. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity and influences its physical properties, such as lower boiling and melting points compared to saturated fatty acids of similar chain length. 3-Heptenoic acid is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. This compound is used in various applications, including organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. Additionally, it may have potential uses in flavoring and fragrance industries. As with many unsaturated fatty acids, it can undergo reactions such as hydrogenation, oxidation, and polymerization, making it a versatile compound in chemical processes.
