3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid

Description:
3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, also known as 3-hydroxy palmitic acid, is a fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the third carbon position. This compound has a molecular formula of C16H32O3 and features a carboxylic acid functional group, which contributes to its acidic properties. It is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. This fatty acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, as it can serve as a building block for the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other bioactive compounds. Additionally, it may play a role in biological processes, such as lipid metabolism and cell signaling. Its unique structure and properties make it a subject of research in the development of pharmaceuticals and functional materials.
