Description

Applications 4-Oxooctanoic Acid is one of mid-chain oxocarboxylic acids detected in Antarctic aerosols and possible precursors to the production of low molecular weight diacids such as succinic acid.Also, it is derived from 4-Octanolide (O239723), which is one of the fine organic aerosol emitted from meat cooking operations that was examined by high-resolution gas chromatography.
