2-Methylhexanoic acid

Description:

2-Methylhexanoic acid, with the CAS number 4536-23-6, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and a six-carbon backbone. It features a methyl group attached to the second carbon of the hexanoic acid chain, which contributes to its branched structure. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. 2-Methylhexanoic acid is known for its use in various industrial applications, including as a precursor in the synthesis of esters, surfactants, and as a solvent. Additionally, it can serve as a ligand in coordination chemistry and is utilized in the production of certain metal salts. The compound exhibits moderate toxicity and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines. Its unique structure and properties make it valuable in both chemical synthesis and industrial applications.
