Natural Product Identification
Common Name4,6-Dimethylnonanoic acid
Description4,6-Dimethylnonanoic acid, also known as 4,8-dimethyl-nonanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. A medium-chain fatty acid, nonanoic acid with methyl branches at C-4 and C-8. 4,6-Dimethylnonanoic acid was first documented in 2002 (PMID: 11785945). 4,6-Dimethylnonanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
