(±)-3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid

Description:

(±)-3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid, with the CAS number 1883-13-2, is a fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain and a hydroxyl group located at the third carbon atom. This compound is a chiral molecule, existing in two enantiomeric forms, which can exhibit different biological activities. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a surfactant and emulsifying agent, making it useful in various industrial applications, including cosmetics and food products. Additionally, (±)-3-Hydroxydodecanoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and oxidation, which can lead to the formation of derivatives with diverse functionalities. Its biological significance may also extend to its role in lipid metabolism and potential therapeutic applications, although further research is necessary to fully elucidate its effects and mechanisms of action.
