2-Hydroxydecanedioic acid

Description:

2-Hydroxydecanedioic acid, also known as 2-hydroxysebacic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two carboxyl (-COOH) groups and a hydroxyl (-OH) group on a decanedioic acid backbone. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water and organic solvents, which enhances its utility in various applications. The hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a building block in polymer synthesis, particularly in the production of polyesters and polyamides. Additionally, its dicarboxylic nature allows for the formation of esters and amides, making it versatile in chemical reactions. 2-Hydroxydecanedioic acid is of interest in the fields of biochemistry and materials science, where it may be used in the development of biodegradable polymers and other environmentally friendly materials. Its unique structure also suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, although specific uses may vary based on ongoing research and development.
