Synthesis and Molecular Structures of the Lowest Melting Odd- and Even-Numbered α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids—(E)-Hept-2-Enoic Acid and (E)-Oct-2-Enoic Acid

The molecular structures of the two lowest melting odd- and even-numbered α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids—(E)-hept-2-enoic acid (C7) and (E)-oct-2-enoic acid (C8)—are herein reported. The title compounds were crystallized by slow evaporation of ethanolic solutions at −30 °C. C7 crystallizes in the...
