6-oxononanoic acid

Description:
6-Oxononanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 4144-58-5, is a carboxylic acid characterized by a nine-carbon chain with a ketone functional group at the sixth carbon position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group. The presence of both the ketone and carboxylic acid functional groups contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and oxidation. 6-Oxononanoic acid is of interest in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of surfactants, lubricants, or other chemical compounds. Its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many organic acids, due to potential irritant effects.
