Neodecanoic acid (NDA) is a mixture of carboxylic acids with the common chemical formula C10H20O2. NDA is a colorless liquid with a relatively low vapor pressure and it's widely used in industrial synthesis processes. As mixture of constitutional isomers, we can identify some properties shared with trialkyl acetic acid by the following isomers:

  • 2,2,3,5-Tetramethylhexanoic acid
  • 2,4-Dimethyl-2-isopropylpentanoic acid
  • 2,5-Dimethyl-2-ethylhexanoic acid
  • 2,2-Dimethyloctanoic acid
  • 2,2-Diethylhexanoic acid
