2-Methyloctanoic acid

Description:

2-Methyloctanoic acid, also known as 2-methylcaprylic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its eight-carbon chain with a methyl group attached to the second carbon. Its molecular formula is C9H18O2, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group, which imparts acidic properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Methyloctanoic acid is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and other chemical products. Its branched structure can influence its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, making it distinct from its straight-chain counterparts. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, which can be beneficial in certain industrial applications. Safety data indicates that, like many fatty acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.
