:5-Heptenoic acid, 4,6-dimethyl-, methyl ester, (R)-
Description:
5-Heptenoic acid, 4,6-dimethyl-, methyl ester, (R)- is an organic compound characterized by its structure as an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester. It features a heptenoic acid backbone, which includes a seven-carbon chain with a double bond located at the fifth carbon position. The presence of methyl groups at the 4th and 6th positions contributes to its branched structure, influencing its physical and chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the carboxylate functional group. The (R)- designation indicates its specific stereochemistry, which can affect its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. As a methyl ester, it is likely to undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or enzymes, releasing the corresponding acid. This compound may have applications in organic synthesis, flavoring, or fragrance industries, and its properties make it of interest in the study of fatty acid derivatives and their biological roles.
