5-oxodecanoic acid

Description:
5-Oxodecanoic acid, with the CAS number 624-01-1, is a fatty acid characterized by a long carbon chain and a ketone functional group. It features a total of ten carbon atoms, making it a medium-chain fatty acid. The presence of the ketone group at the fifth carbon position distinguishes it from other fatty acids, influencing its chemical reactivity and biological properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. 5-Oxodecanoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and potentially in the production of surfactants or other chemical intermediates. Additionally, it may have applications in the food and cosmetic industries, although specific uses can vary. As with many organic acids, it is important to handle it with care, as it may be irritating to the skin and eyes.
