:Octanoic acid, 5,7,7-trimethyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-
Description:
Octanoic acid, 5,7,7-trimethyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 88934-33-2, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its unique structure that includes a long hydrocarbon chain and multiple methyl groups. This compound is part of the carboxylic acid family, featuring a carboxyl functional group (-COOH) that imparts acidic properties. The presence of the branched alkyl groups contributes to its hydrophobic nature, influencing its solubility in organic solvents while making it less soluble in water. Octanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in various applications, including as surfactants, emulsifiers, and in the synthesis of esters for flavoring and fragrance industries. Additionally, the branched structure can affect its melting and boiling points, typically resulting in lower volatility compared to straight-chain fatty acids. Overall, this compound exhibits characteristics typical of fatty acids, with specific properties influenced by its unique branching and functional groups.
