2-Heptylpropanedioic acid

Description:
2-Heptylpropanedioic acid, also known by its CAS number 760-54-3, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by a seven-carbon alkyl chain attached to a propanedioic acid backbone. This compound features two carboxylic acid functional groups (-COOH) at the terminal positions of the propanedioic structure, which contributes to its acidity and reactivity. The presence of the heptyl group imparts hydrophobic characteristics, making it less soluble in water compared to smaller dicarboxylic acids. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. 2-Heptylpropanedioic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and potentially in the production of surfactants or plasticizers. Its structural features also suggest potential applications in the development of biodegradable materials. However, specific safety and handling guidelines should be followed, as with any chemical substance, to mitigate risks associated with its use.
