4-methylpent-4-enoic acid; CAS No.: 1001-75-8;4-methylpent-4-enoic acid. PROPERTIES: 4-methylpent-4-enoic acid is an unsaturated carboxylic acid with molecular formula C6H10O2. It typically exists as a colorless liquid with a mild acidic odor, having a boiling point around 145-150 C at atmospheric pressure. The compound demonstrates typical carboxylic acid reactivity, forming salts and esters readily. It has moderate water solubility and should be stored in cool, dry conditions away from heat sources and incompatible materials like strong bases or oxidizing agents. Proper ventilation is advised during handling to avoid inhaling vapors. APPLICATIONS: In industrial chemistry, 4-methylpent-4-enoic acid serves as a monomer for producing unsaturated polyesters and vinyl esters, where its conjugated double bond enables copolymerization with styrene or other vinyl monomers (Journal of Applied Polymer Science). Its structure makes it suitable for synthesizing biodegradable polymers with tailored properties for packaging or biomedical applications (Biomacromolecules). In flavor chemistry, the compound contributes to the creation of fruit and berry flavor profiles, particularly when modified through esterification to produce esters with desirable sensory attributes (Flavour and Fragrance Journal).
