3-(tetradecyloxy)propane-1,2-diol

Description:

3-(Tetradecyloxy)propane-1,2-diol, with the CAS number 1561-06-4, is a chemical compound characterized by its long hydrophobic tetradecyl chain and hydrophilic diol functional groups. This amphiphilic nature allows it to act as a surfactant, making it useful in various applications, including emulsifiers and stabilizers in formulations. The presence of the tetradecyl group contributes to its lipophilicity, while the propane-1,2-diol moiety provides hydroxyl groups that can engage in hydrogen bonding, enhancing solubility in polar solvents. The compound is typically a viscous liquid or waxy solid at room temperature, depending on its purity and specific formulation. Its properties make it suitable for use in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications, where it can improve the texture and stability of mixtures. Additionally, its biocompatibility and low toxicity profile make it an attractive option for formulations intended for skin contact or ingestion.

1-O-Tetradecyl-rac-glycerol

CAS: 1561-06-4

1-O-Tetradecyl-rac-glycerol is a fatty acid ester that is used as a conditioning agent and a hydroxylated alcohol. The fatty acid ester is derived from 1-O-tetradecanoyl-racemic glycerol, which is an ester of the fatty acids, oleic acid and palmitic acid. The hydroxy group on the molecule allows it to be soluble in water. It also has transport properties because it can dissolve in lipids and penetrate hair follicles. It can also act as a solid catalyst for citric acid production and malic acid production because of its hydroxyl groups.
