1-Methylpropyl 4-hydroxybenzoate

Description:

1-Methylpropyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, also known as propylparaben, is an ester derived from p-hydroxybenzoic acid and is commonly used as a preservative in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. It appears as a white crystalline solid or a colorless liquid, depending on its form. This compound is known for its antimicrobial properties, which help inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, thereby extending the shelf life of products. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. The substance is generally recognized as safe when used in low concentrations, although some studies have raised concerns about potential endocrine-disrupting effects. Its chemical structure includes a para-hydroxy group, which contributes to its preservative efficacy. Additionally, 1-Methylpropyl 4-hydroxybenzoate is often evaluated for its stability under various conditions, including temperature and pH, to ensure its effectiveness in formulations. Overall, it plays a significant role in the formulation of various consumer products, balancing efficacy with safety considerations.

butan-2-yl 4-hydroxybenzoate

CAS: 17696-61-6

Butan-2-yl 4-hydroxybenzoate is a surfactant that can be used to prepare micellar solutions for the quantification of analytes. It is an organic solvent that has been optimized for use in micellar solutions. The interaction between butan-2-yl 4-hydroxybenzoate and ethylparaben has been analyzed, as well as its interactions with other analytes such as sodium dodecylsulfate and 4-fluorobenzoic acid. Butan-2-yl 4-hydroxybenzoate is an anionic surfactant that binds to the cationic surface of the micelle and stabilizes it by reducing aggregation. This product also interacts with sodium dodecylsulfate, a detergent, to form a micelle in water.
