:4-Hexenoic acid, 2,4-diethyl-, (E)-
Description:
4-Hexenoic acid, 2,4-diethyl-, (E)- is an unsaturated fatty acid characterized by a six-carbon chain with a double bond located between the second and third carbon atoms, specifically in the E configuration, indicating the trans arrangement of substituents around the double bond. This compound features two ethyl groups attached to the second and fourth carbon atoms, contributing to its hydrophobic nature and influencing its physical properties. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a distinctive odor typical of fatty acids. The presence of the double bond makes it more reactive than saturated fatty acids, allowing for various chemical transformations, such as polymerization or addition reactions. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water reflects its hydrophobic characteristics. 4-Hexenoic acid, 2,4-diethyl-, (E)- may find applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of surfactants, plasticizers, or as intermediates in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.
