Octanoic acid, 8-amino-, hydrochloride

Description:
Octanoic acid, 8-amino-, hydrochloride, also known as 8-amino caprylic acid hydrochloride, is a chemical compound characterized by its amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its ionic nature due to the presence of the hydrochloride group. The compound has a molecular formula that includes both an amine and a carboxylic acid, which contributes to its properties as a zwitterion in certain pH conditions. Octanoic acid itself is an eight-carbon saturated fatty acid, and the amino group at the 8-position introduces basic characteristics, making the compound potentially useful in various biochemical applications, including as a building block in peptide synthesis or as a potential therapeutic agent. Its hydrochloride form enhances its stability and solubility in aqueous solutions, making it suitable for pharmaceutical formulations. Safety data indicates that, like many amines and acids, it should be handled with care to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.
