4-decylbenzoic acid

Description:
4-Decylbenzoic acid is an organic compound characterized by a benzoic acid structure with a decyl group (a straight-chain alkyl group with ten carbon atoms) 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 is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic characteristics, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. 4-Decylbenzoic acid is often utilized in the synthesis of surfactants, polymers, and as a building block in organic synthesis. Its unique structure also makes it of interest in materials science, particularly in the development of liquid crystals and other advanced materials. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards associated with this compound.
