2-Ethylcaproic acid is a branched-chain fatty acid with the molecular formula C₈H₁₆O₂. The structure of 2-ethylcaproic acid includes a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to a seven-carbon chain with an ethyl group substitution at the second carbon. This branched configuration contributes to its unique chemical and physical properties, including moderate volatility and resistance to thermal degradation under certain conditions.
