4-Octylbenzoic acid

Description:

4-Octylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a benzoic acid core with an octyl group attached to the para position of the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is known for its hydrophobic properties due to the long alkyl chain. It has a relatively high melting point and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. 4-Octylbenzoic acid is often utilized in the synthesis of surfactants, plasticizers, and as an additive in polymer formulations. Its unique structure contributes to its potential applications in materials science and organic synthesis, making it a compound of interest in both industrial and research settings. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
