CAS 1422-27-1

9-Hydroxydecanoic acid

Description:

9-Hydroxydecanoic acid, with the CAS number 1422-27-1, is a fatty acid characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) located at the ninth carbon of a decanoic acid chain. This compound is a medium-chain fatty acid, typically exhibiting a straight-chain structure with a total of ten carbon atoms. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts unique properties, such as increased solubility in water compared to its non-hydroxylated counterparts. It is known for its potential applications in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, due to its ability to form esters and its role in lipid metabolism. Additionally, 9-hydroxydecanoic acid may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in food preservation and pharmaceutical formulations. Its melting and boiling points, as well as its reactivity, can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other functional groups. Overall, this compound is significant in both natural and synthetic contexts, contributing to the understanding of fatty acid behavior and functionality.
