Pelargonic acid, also called nonanoic acid, is an organic compound with structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CO 2 H. It is a nine-carbon fatty acid. Nonanoic acid is a colorless oily liquid with an unpleasant, rancid odor. It is nearly insoluble in water, but very soluble in organic solvents.
Ammonium nonanoate is a nonsystemic, broad-spectrum contact herbicide that has no soil activity. [1] It can be used for the suppression and control of weeds, including grasses, vines, underbrush, and annual/perennial plants, including moss, saplings, and tree suckers.
4-Nonanoylmorpholine was first synthesized in 1954 by L. M. Rice, from morpholine and acyl chloride of pelargonic acid. It is a liquid insoluble in water and soluble in polar organic solvents (e.g. acetone, propanol, and dimethyl formamide) and fats. Its volatility is 27 mg/m 3 at 20 °C and 43 mg/m 3 at 35 °C.
Pitzer equations [1] are important for the understanding of the behaviour of ions dissolved in natural waters such as rivers, lakes and sea-water. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] They were first described by physical chemist Kenneth Pitzer . [ 5 ]
Ozonolysis of oleic acid is an important route to azelaic acid. The coproduct is nonanoic acid: [20] CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CH=CH(CH 2) 7 CO 2 H} + 4 O 3 → HO 2 C(CH 2) 7 CO 2 H} + CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CO 2 H. Erucic acid is a precursor to brassylic acid, a C13-dicarboxylic acid that is used to make specialty polyamides and polyesters.
The nerve gas agent sarin, containing both C–P and F–P bonds, is a phosphonate. [citation needed] Phosphinates feature two P–C bonds, with the general formula R 2 P(=O)(OR'). A commercially significant member is the herbicide glufosinate. Similar to glyphosate mentioned above, it has the structure CH 3 P(O)(OH)CH 2 CH 2 CH(NH 2)CO 2 H.
Some companies report their product as acid equivalent (ae) of glyphosate acid, or some report it as active ingredient (ai) of glyphosate plus the salt, and others report both. Given that each salt has its own molecular weight, the acid equivalent is a more accurate method of expressing and comparing concentrations.
Since the ends are condensed, its formula has one less H 2 O (water) than tripolyphosphoric acid. The general formula of a phosphoric acid is H n−2x+2 P n O 3n−x+1, where n is the number of phosphorus atoms and x is the number of fundamental cycles in the molecule's structure; that is, the minimum number of bonds that would have to be ...
