4-hexylbenzoic acid

Description:

4-Hexylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a hexyl group attached to the para position of a benzoic acid structure. Its molecular formula is C13H18O2, indicating it contains 13 carbon atoms, 18 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is known for its relatively low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. 4-Hexylbenzoic acid exhibits properties typical of carboxylic acids, including the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can influence its melting and boiling points. It is often utilized in the synthesis of liquid crystalline materials and can serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, due to its hydrophobic hexyl chain, it may exhibit surfactant properties, making it of interest in various industrial applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
