Dodecanoic acid, monoester with 1,2-propanediol

Description:
Dodecanoic acid, monoester with 1,2-propanediol, commonly known as lauric acid monoester, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group formed from the reaction of dodecanoic acid (a saturated fatty acid) and 1,2-propanediol (a diol). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the specific conditions and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic dodecyl chain. The substance is known for its emulsifying and surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, food products, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it may possess antimicrobial properties, which can enhance its utility in preserving formulations. The compound's stability and compatibility with other ingredients make it a valuable additive in formulations requiring emulsification or stabilization. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis under certain conditions, reverting to its constituent acid and alcohol.
