CAS 504-99-4
:6-methyloctanoic acid
Description:
6-Methyloctanoic acid, with the CAS number 504-99-4, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its eight-carbon chain and a methyl group located at the sixth carbon position. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinct fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. 6-Methyloctanoic acid is utilized in the synthesis of esters for flavoring and fragrance applications, as well as in the production of surfactants and lubricants. Its branched structure can influence its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, compared to straight-chain fatty acids. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in biochemical research and industrial applications.
