2,4-Dimethylhexanoic acid

Description:
2,4-Dimethylhexanoic acid, with the CAS number 70621-82-8, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its two methyl groups located at the 2 and 4 positions of a hexanoic acid backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. 2,4-Dimethylhexanoic acid is utilized in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and plasticizers, and it may also serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its branched structure can influence its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, making it distinct from its straight-chain counterparts. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
