CAS 30361-30-9: (2E,4Z)-2,4-Hexadienoic acid
Description:(2E,4Z)-2,4-Hexadienoic acid, also known as sorbic acid, is an unsaturated fatty acid characterized by its two double bonds located at the second and fourth carbon positions of the hexane chain. This compound features a trans configuration at the second double bond and a cis configuration at the fourth, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The presence of double bonds contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and polymerization. (2E,4Z)-2,4-Hexadienoic acid is widely used as a food preservative due to its antimicrobial properties, inhibiting the growth of molds and yeasts. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical compounds in the food and cosmetic industries. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects.
