:Heptanoic acid,3-methyl-, (3R)-
Description:
Heptanoic acid, 3-methyl-, (3R)-, also known as 3-methylheptanoic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by a seven-carbon chain with a methyl group at the third carbon position. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic 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. The (3R) designation indicates the specific stereochemistry of the molecule, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. Heptanoic acid, 3-methyl-, is used in the synthesis of esters for flavoring and fragrance applications, as well as in the production of surfactants and other industrial chemicals. Its unique structure and properties make it of interest in both chemical research and industrial applications.
