CAS 6818-07-1: Hexanoic acid, 4-methyl-5-oxo-

Description: Hexanoic acid, 4-methyl-5-oxo- (CAS 6818-07-1) is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and a ketone group. It features a six-carbon chain, making it a medium-chain fatty acid derivative. The presence of a methyl group at the fourth carbon and a keto group at the fifth carbon contributes to its unique structural properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. Hexanoic acid derivatives are often used in the synthesis of various chemicals, including esters and surfactants, and may have applications in the food and fragrance industries. Additionally, its chemical reactivity allows it to participate in various organic reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.
