CAS 51424-01-2
:2-Hexenoic acid, 5-methyl-, (E)-
Description:
2-Hexenoic acid, 5-methyl-, (E)-, with the CAS number 51424-01-2, is an unsaturated fatty acid characterized by a double bond in its carbon chain. This compound features a six-carbon backbone with a methyl group at the fifth position and a double bond between the second and third carbons, indicating its E (trans) configuration. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often associated with fatty acids. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and polymerization. This compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Hexenoic acid, 5-methyl-, (E)- is utilized in various applications, including the synthesis of esters for flavoring and fragrance industries, as well as in the production of surfactants and other chemical intermediates. Its structural features and reactivity make it an interesting subject for studies in organic chemistry and materials science.
