Undecanoic acid: ACTIVE
BeschreibungUndecanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid containing eleven carbons (C11:0). It is cytotoxic to certain filamentous fungi and is used to study fungal mechanisms of resistance. Undecanoic acid is also used to acylate larger molecules.
OccurrenceOccurs naturally in butter and in the oil of Artemisisa frigida Willd.; also reported found in the oils of Chamaecyparis pisifera Engl., wild thyme, Thymus marschollianus and coconut. Also reported found in apple, banana, sour cherry, lemon and mandarin peel oil, grapefruit juice, guava, grapes, papaya, many cheeses, milk powder, chicken and beef fat, cooked mutton, cured pork, beer, cognac, rum, whiskies, white wine, tea, coconut milk, beans, licorice, mango, mushrooms, rice, sake, wort, loquat, scallop and maté.

A mild skin irritant; Causes convulsions in intravenous lethal-dose studies of mice; [RTECS] Causes severe skin irritation and serious eye injury; Brief contact can causes second- and third-degree skin burns; Vapors, dust, or mist causes severe eye and throat irritation and may cause injury to the eye and lung; [CHRIS] Safe when used as a flavoring agent in food; [JECFA] A skin and strong eye irritant; [Sigma-Aldrich MSDS]
A weak carboxylic acid. Neutralizes bases with the evolution of substantial amounts of heat to produce water plus a salt. Reacts with solutions of cyanides to cause the release of gaseous hydrogen cyanide. Can generate flammable and/or toxic gases and heat by reaction with diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides. Reacts in with aqueous solutions of nitrites and thiosulfates (to give H2S and SO3) and dithionites (to give SO2) and heat. Reaction with solutions of carbonates and bicarbonates generate a harmless gas (carbon dioxide) but still heat. Can be oxidized by strong oxidizing agents and reduced by strong reducing agents. These reactions generate heat. May initiate polymerization reactions. May serve as a catalyst.
