:2-Methyltetradecanoic acid
Description:
2-Methyltetradecanoic acid, also known as 2-methyl-14-carbon fatty acid, is a branched-chain saturated fatty acid characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a methyl group located at the second carbon position. This compound has a molecular formula of C15H30O2 and features a carboxylic acid functional group, which imparts acidic properties. It is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the methyl branch affects its melting point and physical properties compared to straight-chain fatty acids. 2-Methyltetradecanoic acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, due to its potential applications in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and other chemical intermediates. Additionally, it may be studied for its role in biological systems, particularly in lipid metabolism and membrane structure. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
