CAS 595-37-9

2,2-Dimethylbutanoic acid

Description:

2,2-Dimethylbutanoic acid, with the CAS number 595-37-9, is a branched-chain carboxylic acid characterized by its four-carbon backbone and two methyl groups attached to the second carbon. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinct, pungent odor typical of carboxylic acids. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl groups. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to donate protons in solution. 2,2-Dimethylbutanoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structural features contribute to its unique reactivity and physical properties, which are important in both industrial applications and research contexts. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
