Description:2-Nonenoic acid, with the CAS number 3760-11-0, is an unsaturated fatty acid characterized by a nine-carbon chain and a double bond located at the second carbon from the carboxylic acid functional group. This structure classifies it as a monounsaturated fatty acid. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and polymerization under certain conditions. 2-Nonenoic acid is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. It is used in various applications, including the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, its unsaturated nature allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as hydrogenation and esterification, which are important in the production of more complex molecules. Overall, 2-Nonenoic acid is a versatile compound with significant industrial relevance.
