:

Hexanoic acid, 6-hydroxy-, potassium salt (1:1)

Description:
Hexanoic acid, 6-hydroxy-, potassium salt (1:1), also known by its CAS number 21810-34-4, is a potassium salt derived from hexanoic acid, which is a medium-chain fatty acid. This compound features a hydroxyl group at the sixth carbon position of the hexanoic acid chain, imparting additional functional properties. It is typically a white to off-white solid that is soluble in water due to the presence of the ionic potassium component. The salt form enhances its stability and bioavailability in various applications. Hexanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries due to their emulsifying and surfactant properties. Additionally, the presence of the hydroxyl group may contribute to its reactivity and potential use in chemical synthesis. As with many fatty acid derivatives, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in preservation and health-related applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
