:Hexacosanedioic acid
Description:
Hexacosanedioic acid, also known as behenic acid, is a long-chain dicarboxylic acid characterized by its two carboxyl functional groups (-COOH) at each end of a 26-carbon alkane chain. This compound is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature, but it is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone. Hexacosanedioic acid has a melting point that is relatively high compared to shorter-chain dicarboxylic acids, reflecting its long carbon chain. It is primarily used in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as a raw material in the synthesis of various polymers. Additionally, it can serve as a fatty acid in the formulation of cosmetics and personal care products. Its structural stability and low reactivity make it suitable for applications requiring long-lasting performance. As with many long-chain fatty acids, it may also exhibit some biological activity, although its specific interactions in biological systems are less well-studied compared to shorter-chain fatty acids.
