dl-A-hydroxybehenic acid

Description:
dl-A-Hydroxybehenic acid, with the CAS number 13980-14-8, is a long-chain fatty acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) on the alpha carbon of the behenic acid structure. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while exhibiting limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic long carbon chain. The hydroxyl group contributes to its potential reactivity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can influence its physical properties and interactions with other molecules. dl-A-Hydroxybehenic acid is often studied for its applications in various fields, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and as a surfactant, owing to its emulsifying properties. Additionally, its structural characteristics may allow it to participate in biochemical processes, making it of interest in nutritional and metabolic studies. As with many fatty acids, its behavior in biological systems can be influenced by its chain length and functional groups, impacting its role in lipid metabolism and cellular functions.
