:Heptanoic acid,2-ethyl-2-methyl-
Description:
Heptanoic acid, 2-ethyl-2-methyl- (CAS 31080-38-3) is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its aliphatic structure, which includes a seven-carbon chain with additional ethyl and methyl groups at the second carbon position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Heptanoic acid, 2-ethyl-2-methyl- is known for its applications in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. 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 varying degrees of biological activity, which can be relevant in fields such as biochemistry and pharmacology. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

2-Ethyl-2-methylheptanoic acid
CAS:<p>2-Ethyl-2-methylheptanoic acid is a monoester of 2-ethylhexanol. It has a crystalline structure and can be found in the form of spherical particles. 2-Ethyl-2-methylheptanoic acid has been shown to have synergistic effects with other surfactants, such as phosphoric acid solution, to extract organic compounds from various surfaces. The extraction process involves lowering the surface tension by adsorbing at least one molecule of the organic compound on the surface and then extracting it by contacting it with an appropriate solvent. Techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to study the morphology of these spherical particles.</p>Formula:C10H20O2Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:172.26 g/mol
