Nonanoic acid Nonanoic acid Nonanoic acid, also called pelargonic acid, is an organic compound with structural formula CH(CH)COH. 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. The esters and salts of nonanoic acid are called nonanoates. Its refractive index is 1.4322. Its critical point is at 712 K (439 °C) and 2.35 MPa. Nonanoic acid occurs naturally as esters in the oil of pelargonium. Together with azelaic acid, it is produced industrially by ozonolysis of oleic acid. Synthetic esters of
