Product Information
3-Methylheptanoic acid is an achiral, volatile fatty acid that is found in the urine and feces of mammals. It has been shown to be a potent skatole inducer, and is capable of producing abdominal pain. 3-Methylheptanoic acid has also been shown to bind competitively to the receptor site for dimer (2,3-dimethoxy-5-methylphenol) in the antennae of cockroaches and other insects. This binding inhibits electroantennographic responses, which are used as a measure of insect activity. 3-Methylheptanoic acid can be used as an indicator for orthophosphoric acid in chemical analysis. The optical rotation of this compound is determined by its configuration at the asymmetric carbon atom. This functional group allows 3-methylheptanoic acid to act as an antiseptic and germicide when it reacts with water or dilute acids to form orthophosph
