Description:

2-Hexyl-5-propylresorcinol, with the CAS number 39341-78-1, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a resorcinol backbone substituted with hexyl and propyl groups. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is known for its potential applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, particularly as a skin-conditioning agent and UV filter. It exhibits good solubility in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited. The presence of hydroxyl groups in its structure contributes to its reactivity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can enhance its interaction with biological systems. Additionally, 2-Hexyl-5-propylresorcinol is noted for its antioxidant properties, which may help in protecting skin from oxidative stress. Safety assessments indicate that it is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic formulations, although, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care to avoid potential irritation or allergic reactions.
