Dodecanoic acid, 3-oxo-, monoester with 1,2,3-propanetriol

Description:

Dodecanoic acid, 3-oxo-, monoester with 1,2,3-propanetriol, commonly known as a monoester of a fatty acid and glycerol, is a chemical compound characterized by its structure, which includes a dodecanoic acid (lauric acid) moiety and a glycerol backbone. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with fatty acid esters, such as being hydrophobic and having a relatively low solubility in water, while being soluble in organic solvents. It is likely to have a creamy or oily texture, making it suitable for various applications in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The presence of the keto group (3-oxo) suggests potential reactivity, which may influence its stability and interactions in different environments. Additionally, this compound may serve as an emulsifier or stabilizer due to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. Overall, its characteristics make it valuable in formulations requiring emulsification or as a carrier for active ingredients.
