CAS 813-58-1
:2,2-Diethylbutanoic acid
Description:
2,2-Diethylbutanoic acid, with the CAS number 813-58-1, is a branched-chain carboxylic acid characterized by its unique structure, which includes two ethyl groups attached to the second carbon of a butanoic acid backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl groups. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and neutralization. 2,2-Diethylbutanoic acid can be used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, are influenced by its molecular structure and the presence of functional groups. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
