Oenanthylic acid

Onanth-. enanth-, oenanth-. -ather, m. enanthic (or oenanthic) ether, -sSure, /, enanthic (or oenanthic) acid, -ylsaure, /, enanthylic (or oenanthylic) acid. 

Also referred to as heptanoic acid enanthic acid enanthylic acid heptylic acid heptoic acid Oenanthylic acid Oenanthic acid. Enanthate is one of the most prominent esters used in steroid manufacture (most commonly seen with testosterone but is also used in other compounds like Primobolan Depot). Enanthate will release a steady (yet fluctuating as all esters are) level of hormone for approximately 10-14 days. Although in medicine enanthate compounds are often injected on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, athletes will inject at least weekly to help maintain a uniform blood level...

In the oil from the fresh tops butyric and oenanthylic acids in the form of esters were found. 

This is the simplest case of the reaction but it has been mostly used in the synthesis of higher members of the unsaturated acid series, e.g., the nine carbon acid, nonylenic acid, which is prepared from the seven carbon aldehyde known as oenanthylic aldehyde, or oenanthol, obtained from castor oil. Even more important than its application in the synthesis of higher acids of the ethylene series is the use of the reaction in the synthesis of aromatic unsaturated cLcids derived from benzene and containing an unsaturated side chain (see cinnamic acid. Part II). The reaction is known as the Perkin Synthesis or as the Perkin-Fittig Synthesis from the men who suggested and explained it.

Bab has also isolated free formic, valerianic and heptylic acids, and also formic, acetic, octylic, nonylic, de< lic, oenanthylic, and butyric adds in the form of esters. Myrcenol was also found in the oil. Babak considers that hop oil contains 15 to 20 per cent, of sesquiterpenes and 20 to 40 per cent, of esters of myrcenol. This latter figure must, however, be accepted with reserve, as the ester value is rarely high enough to account for this quantity of esters. 

He found it to contain butyric acid in the free state, and butyric, valerianic, and oenanthylic aci as esters. Camphor, cineol, and probably bomeol are also present, as well as traces of formaldehyde.
