Heptanoic acid, 7-hydroxy-, methyl ester

Description:

Heptanoic acid, 7-hydroxy-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 7-hydroxyheptanoate, is an ester derived from heptanoic acid and methanol, featuring a hydroxyl group at the 7th carbon position. This compound is characterized by its moderate molecular weight and a structure that includes a long hydrophobic carbon chain, which contributes to its lipophilic properties. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for potential solubility in polar solvents. Heptanoic acid derivatives are often used in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, including surfactants, flavoring agents, and fragrances. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and pH, which are important considerations in its applications and handling.
