CAS 3115-28-4

2-Butylhexanoic acid

Description:

2-Butylhexanoic acid, with the CAS number 3115-28-4, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its aliphatic structure. It features a six-carbon chain with a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at one end and a butyl group (a four-carbon alkyl group) attached to the second carbon of the hexanoic acid backbone. This unique structure imparts specific properties, such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Butylhexanoic acid is known for its applications in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as a chemical intermediate in various industrial processes. Additionally, it exhibits moderate toxicity and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines. Its branched structure contributes to its distinct physical and chemical properties, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and formulations.

2-Butylhexanoic acid is a fatty acid that is present in the human brain and has been shown to be involved in depression. It binds to the lectin, which is a type of glycoprotein found on the surface of cells. 2-Butylhexanoic acid has been shown to be effective against gliomas, which are tumors that arise from cells in the brain's supportive tissue. The lectin may be responsible for binding 2-butylhexanoic acid to cancer cells. This drug is also an inhibitor of butyric acid oxidation and can be used as an anti-emetic, or nausea medication. 2-Butylhexanoic acid has functional groups such as carbonyl groups and pentenoic acids in its chemical structure and is desulfurized by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) dehydrogenase into gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) with thiols.
