:Tetradecanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-
Description:
Tetradecanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl- is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid functional group. It features a tetradecane backbone, indicating it has 14 carbon atoms, with two methyl groups attached to the second carbon, which contributes to its branched structure. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid at room temperature, depending on its specific form and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Tetradecanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl- is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of surfactants, and potentially in the formulation of personal care products. Its unique structure can influence its physical and chemical properties, such as melting point and boiling point, making it of interest in both industrial and research settings. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

2,2-Dimethyltetradecanoic acid
CAS:<p>2,2-Dimethyltetradecanoic acid is a fatty acid that is biosynthesized by the enzyme synthase from echinocandin A. It has been shown to have antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The ring structure of 2,2-dimethyltetradecanoic acid may be important for its chromatographic properties, as it has been shown to separate well on silica gel. This chemical is also used in chemical biology experiments because of its ability to bind to DNA. 2,2-Dimethyltetradecanoic acid binds to the guanine nucleotide binding site and inhibits transcription initiation.</p>Formula:C16H32O2Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:256.42 g/mol
