6-Hydroxydecanoic acid

Description:
6-Hydroxydecanoic acid is a fatty acid characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the sixth carbon of a decanoic acid chain, which consists of ten carbon atoms. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while exhibiting limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts unique properties, such as increased polarity and the potential for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. 6-Hydroxydecanoic acid is of interest in various applications, including the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other chemical intermediates. Additionally, it may have potential uses in the development of biodegradable materials and pharmaceuticals. Its chemical structure allows for various functional modifications, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis and industrial applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
