2-Undecenoic acid, with the CAS number 4189-02-0, is a fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain and the presence of a double bond. Specifically, it is an unsaturated fatty acid with a total of 11 carbon atoms and a double bond located at the second carbon from the carboxylic acid end. This structural feature contributes to its reactivity and physical properties. 2-Undecenoic acid is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a distinct, fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. This compound is of interest in various applications, including the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, its unsaturation allows for further chemical modifications, making it a versatile building block in the production of more complex molecules. Safety data indicates that, like many fatty acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.
