General Description

Neononanoic acid, also known as nonanoic acid, is a carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C9H18O2. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is soluble in water and most organic solvents. Neononanoic acid is used primarily as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including esters, which are used in the production of flavors and fragrances. It is also used in the manufacturing of plasticizers and lubricants, as well as in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is classified as a fatty acid and is found naturally in some plants and animal fats. However, it is most commonly produced synthetically for commercial purposes. Neononanoic acid is considered to be relatively low in toxicity and is generally regarded as safe when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices.
