methyl 10-hydroxydecanoate

Description:
Methyl 10-hydroxydecanoate is an ester derived from the fatty acid decanoic acid and methanol, characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 10th carbon position of the decanoic chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. Methyl 10-hydroxydecanoate is known for its potential applications in the cosmetic and food industries, often utilized as an emollient or flavoring agent. Its chemical structure contributes to its properties, including a relatively high boiling point and moderate viscosity. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in various formulations. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or acids, reverting to its constituent fatty acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
