2,3-dihydroxypropyl benzoate

Description:
2,3-Dihydroxypropyl benzoate, with the CAS number 3376-59-8, is an ester derived from benzoic acid and 2,3-dihydroxypropanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzoate moiety. The presence of hydroxyl groups in its structure imparts some degree of polarity, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other substances. 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl benzoate is often used in various applications, including as a plasticizer, emulsifier, or in cosmetic formulations, owing to its ability to enhance texture and stability. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it suitable for use in personal care products. As with many chemical substances, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to mitigate any potential health risks.
