Chemical Information
FooDB NameNeodecanoic acid
DescriptionNeodecanoic acid, also known as neodecanoate, is a member of the class of compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. Medium-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. Neodecanoic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Neodecanoic acid can be found in garden onion, which makes neodecanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Neodecanoic acid is a mixture of carboxylic acids with the common structural formula C10H20O2, a molecular weight of 172.26 g/mol, and the CAS number 26896-20-8. Components of the mixture are acids with the common property of a "trialkyl acetic acid" having three alkyl groups at carbon two, including: 2,2,3,5-Tetramethylhexanoic acid 2,4-Dimethyl-2-isopropylpentanoic acid 2,5-Dimethyl-2-ethylhexanoic acid 2,2-Dimethyloctanoic acid 2,2-Diethylhexanoic acid Neodecanoic acid is used primarily as an intermediate to make other chemical products. For example, metal salts of neodecanoic acid can be used in a variety of applications such as paint driers, polyvinylchloride stabilizers, or polymerization initiators. Ester derivatives of neodecanoic acid are used in surface coatings and cement additives. In its neutralized form, neodecanoic acid is used in metalworking fluids .
