- Product Name: Undecanoic acid
- Other Synonyms: Undecylic acid, Hendecanoic acid, 1-Decanecarboxylic acid
- CAS Number: 112-37-8
- Molecular Formula: C₁₁H₂₂O₂
- Molecular Weight: 186.29 g/mol
- Physical Form: At room temperature, it appears as colorless crystals. Above its melting point (approximately 28–31°C), it becomes a colorless liquid.
- Description: Undecanoic acid is practically insoluble in water at room temperature but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and diethyl ether. It naturally occurs in royal jelly.
- In industry, it is primarily used for organic synthesis. Due to its excellent antifungal activity (it is one of the most effective antifungal agents among C7:0 to C18:0 saturated fatty acids), it is also widely used as an antifungal agent for treating skin conditions such as ringworm and athlete's foot.
