CAS 88663-63-2
:Heptanoic acid, 7-methoxy-
Description:
Heptanoic acid, 7-methoxy- (CAS 88663-63-2) is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and a methoxy group attached to the heptanoic acid chain. This compound features a seven-carbon straight-chain structure, which contributes to its classification as a medium-chain fatty acid. The presence of the methoxy group introduces additional polarity, potentially affecting its solubility and reactivity. Heptanoic acid derivatives are often studied for their applications in various fields, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, due to their fatty acid properties. The compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and may have a characteristic fatty odor. Its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility, can vary based on the presence of the methoxy group. As with many organic acids, it may exhibit acidic behavior in solution, contributing to its reactivity in chemical synthesis and potential applications in esterification and other organic reactions.
