CAS 31467-60-4

6-Nonenoic acid,8-methyl-, (6Z)-

Description:

6-Nonenoic acid, 8-methyl-, (6Z)-, also known by its CAS number 31467-60-4, is a fatty acid characterized by a long carbon chain with a double bond in the cis configuration at the sixth carbon position. This compound features a total of nine carbon atoms, making it an unsaturated fatty acid. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity and influences its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, which are typically lower than those of saturated fatty acids of similar chain length. The methyl group at the eighth position adds to the complexity of its structure, potentially affecting its biological activity and interactions. 6-Nonenoic acid is likely to be soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit some degree of solubility in water due to the carboxylic acid functional group. This compound can be of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis, biochemistry, and materials science, particularly in the study of fatty acid derivatives and their applications.
