CAS 24412-91-7

Octanoic acid glycidyl ester

Description:

Octanoic acid glycidyl ester, also known by its CAS number 24412-91-7, is an organic compound derived from the esterification of octanoic acid and glycidol. This substance typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Octanoic acid glycidyl ester is known for its applications in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and as a reactive diluent in coatings and adhesives. The compound exhibits good thermal stability and can participate in various chemical reactions, including polymerization, due to the presence of the glycidyl group, which is reactive towards nucleophiles. Additionally, it is considered to have low toxicity, making it suitable for use in food contact materials and personal care products. However, like all chemicals, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to minimize exposure and environmental impact.
