CAS 646-07-1: Isocaproic acid

Description: Isocaproic acid, also known as 2-methylpentanoic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid with the molecular formula C6H12O2. It is characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group, which imparts acidic properties. Isocaproic acid is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as cheesy or rancid. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. This compound is primarily used in the synthesis of esters for flavoring and fragrance applications, as well as in the production of various chemical intermediates. Isocaproic acid can be found in certain natural sources, including some dairy products, where it contributes to flavor profiles. Additionally, it has applications in the pharmaceutical industry and in the manufacture of surfactants. Safety considerations include its potential to cause skin and eye irritation, necessitating appropriate handling measures in laboratory and industrial settings.
