General description

Ketonisation of heptanoic acid catalyzed by Mn, Ce and Zr oxides deposited on Al2O3, SiO2 and TiO2 has been studied.

Application

Heptanoic acid has been used as internal standard during gas chromatographic analysis of the butyl esters of volatile acids in microbial fermentation media.

After oral administration of amineptine (7-[(10-11)-dihydro-5H-dibenzo(a,d)cycloheptane-5yl] amino heptanoic acid), an original tricyclic antidepressant, seven metabolites were isolated from urine and plasma of rat, dog and man. The metabolic pathways were similar for the three species studied. The two major pathways
