Product Information
3,5-Dimethylhexanoic acid is a polycarboxylic acid that is formed by the oxidation of fatty acids in an alkaline environment. It has a viscosity of about 1.6 mPa·s at 20 °C and a pH of about 11. 3,5-Dimethylhexanoic acid is chemically stable in neutral solution and can be used as a model system for fatty acids. For example, it can be used to study the reactions between carboxylic acids and hydroxyl groups (e.g., hydrolysis). This compound has been shown to react with sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide solution to form caproic acid, which is then hydrolyzed into acetic acid.
