General Description

3-METHYLNONANOIC ACID is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H20O2. It is a branched-chain fatty acid that is classified as a carboxylic acid. The compound is a colorless liquid with a faint odor, and it is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 3-METHYLNONANOIC ACID is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of fragrances and flavors. It can also be found in trace amounts in certain natural products such as berries and other fruits. The compound is generally regarded as safe for use in food and cosmetic products when used within specified concentrations.

FACTORS GOVERNING PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION IN THE OXIDATION OF ALKENES BY MANGANESE(III) ACETATE IN ACETIC ACID AND ACETIC ANHYDRIDE

A systematic investigation has been carried out into the effect of different reaction parameters on the oxidation of oct-1-ene by manganese(III) acetate in acetic acid and acetic anhydride.The most important factor in dictating the ratio of products is the composition of the solvent.In the absence of anhydride γ-decanolactone is virtually the sole product.Even small quantitites of anhydride lead to the lactone being replaced by other products derived from cationic intermediates C6H13CH(1+)CH2COX (X = OH or OAc).Further increases in the amount of anhydride encourage the formation of decanoic acid until, in 90percent anhydride, this becomes the predominant product.The results cannot be interpreted simply in terms of competition for the alkene by the radicals (.)CH2CO2H and (.)CH2COOCOCH3.Decanoic acid formation is also favoured by low temperatures, low concentration of oxidants, and by the addition of acetate ions.A comparision is made of the efficiency of addition when the initiating species is manganese(III) or a peroxide.
