4-n-hexadecyloxybenzoic acid

Description:
4-n-Hexadecyloxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 15872-48-7, is an organic compound characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chain and a polar carboxylic acid functional group. This compound features a hexadecyl group (a 16-carbon straight-chain alkyl group) attached to an aromatic ring via an ether linkage, specifically at the para position relative to the carboxylic acid group. The presence of the long alkyl chain imparts significant hydrophobic properties, while the carboxylic acid group contributes to its potential solubility in polar solvents and its ability to form hydrogen bonds. This amphiphilic nature allows 4-n-hexadecyloxybenzoic acid to exhibit surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a stabilizer in emulsions and in the formulation of liquid crystals. Additionally, its structural characteristics may influence its phase behavior and thermal properties, which are important in materials science and nanotechnology. Overall, this compound is of interest in both academic research and industrial applications due to its unique chemical properties.
