:Octanoic acid, 6-methyl-, (6S)-
Description:
Octanoic acid, 6-methyl-, (6S)-, also known as 6-methylcaprylic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its eight-carbon chain with a methyl group at the sixth carbon position. This compound is a chiral molecule, with the (6S) designation indicating its specific stereochemistry. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. Octanoic acid, 6-methyl-, is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is known for its applications in the food industry as a flavoring agent and in the production of esters for use in fragrances and cosmetics. Additionally, it may have potential uses in pharmaceuticals and as a surfactant. The compound's properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, can vary based on its molecular structure and the presence of functional groups. As with many fatty acids, it can undergo typical reactions such as esterification and oxidation.
