General description

2-Hexyldecanoic acid is a carboxylic acid having branched carbon chains.

Application

2-Hexyldecanoic acid may be used as amidating agent for the suppression of side-chain crystallization during the synthesis of amphiphilic macromolecules. It may be employed as a surrogate carboxylic acid in a study.

Crystallization of colloidal nanocrystals into superlattices represents a practical bottom-up process with which to create ordered metamaterials with emergent functionalities. With precise control over the size, shape and composition of individual nanocrystals, various single- and multi-component nanocrystal superlattices have been

The nontargeted scanning chemical profiling approach has shown great potential to identify unknown pollutants or novel biological markers; however, the structure identification of unknown compounds is a challenge. In this study, a carboxyl-specific derivatization reagent, N-(4-aminomethylphenyl) pyridinium (AMPP), was coupled
