2-Isopropylpent-4-enoic acid; CAS No.: 1575-71-9;2-Isopropylpent-4-enoic acid. PROPERTIES: 2-Isopropylpent-4-enoic acid is a branched aliphatic carboxylic acid with molecular formula C8H14O2. It typically exists as a colorless liquid with a mild acidic odor, having a boiling point around 150-155 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like methanol or ethyl acetate. It exhibits typical carboxylic acid reactivity, forming salts and esters readily. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 30 C, protected from moisture and heat. APPLICATIONS: In industrial chemistry, this compound serves as a monomer for producing unsaturated polyesters and vinyl esters, where its isopropyl substituent provides steric effects that influence polymer properties (Journal of Applied Polymer Science). In pharmaceutical synthesis, 2-Isopropylpent-4-enoic acid contributes to the development of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), where the carboxylic acid group forms the pharmacophore essential for cyclooxygenase inhibition (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). The compound also finds application in flavor chemistry, where it 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).
