13-Tetradecynoic acid(CAS: 82909-47-5)

13-Tetradecynoic acid (CAS: 82909-47-5) is a white, crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 214.3 g/mol. It has a pKa of about 4.8 and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. Chemically, it is mildly reactive and can undergo esterification and reduction reactions.

13-Tetradecynoic acid (CAS: 82909-47-5) is synthesized through the reduction of 13-tetradecynone using sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride as catalysts. The reduction typically yields a 90% to 95% pure product with high selectivity.

13-Tetradecynoic acid (CAS: 82909-47-5) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and sensor industries. It is also used as a precursor in the synthesis of other organic compounds and as a functional group for modification in materials science.

Proper handling of 13-Tetradecynoic acid (CAS: 82909-47-5) requires the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. It should be handled in a well-ventilated area or in a fume hood. Spills should be addressed by sweeping them up and disposing of them in an appropriate waste container. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed guidelines.
