2,3,4,4-Tetramethylpentanoic acid

Description:
2,3,4,4-Tetramethylpentanoic acid, with the CAS number 67731-84-4, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its complex structure featuring multiple methyl groups attached to a pentanoic acid backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of multiple methyl groups contributes to its steric hindrance, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. This acid is often utilized in various industrial applications, including as a building block in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and other chemical intermediates. Additionally, its unique structure may impart specific properties that can be advantageous in formulations requiring stability and performance under varying conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
