threo-9,10-dihydroxystearic acid

Description:

Threo-9,10-dihydroxystearic acid is a dihydroxy fatty acid characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl (-OH) groups located at the 9th and 10th carbon positions of the stearic acid backbone. This compound is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The specific stereochemistry of the threo configuration indicates that the hydroxyl groups are on opposite sides of the molecule, which can influence its physical and chemical properties, including its melting point and reactivity. Threo-9,10-dihydroxystearic acid is often used in various applications, including cosmetics, lubricants, and as an emulsifying agent in formulations. Its unique structure allows it to interact with biological membranes, making it of interest in biochemical research and potential therapeutic applications. As with many fatty acids, it may also exhibit surfactant properties, contributing to its utility in industrial applications.
