CAS 112538-92-8: methyl 3-hydroxyheptadecanoate

Description: Methyl 3-hydroxyheptadecanoate, with the CAS number 112538-92-8, is an ester derived from heptadecanoic acid and methanol, featuring a hydroxyl group at the third carbon position. This compound is characterized by its long carbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group introduces some polarity, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Methyl 3-hydroxyheptadecanoate may exhibit properties typical of fatty acid esters, such as being a potential surfactant or emulsifier. It can be utilized in various applications, including in the food industry, cosmetics, and as a potential biofuel. Its synthesis typically involves esterification reactions, and it may also be studied for its biological activities, including potential antimicrobial or antioxidant properties. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines.
