3-Hydroxyheptadecanoic acid

Description:
3-Hydroxyheptadecanoic acid, with the CAS number 40165-89-7, is a long-chain fatty acid characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) located at the third carbon of a heptadecanoic acid backbone, which consists of 17 carbon atoms. This compound is classified as a hydroxy fatty acid, which can influence its physical and chemical properties, such as solubility and reactivity. Typically, hydroxy fatty acids exhibit higher solubility in polar solvents compared to their non-hydroxy counterparts due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. 3-Hydroxyheptadecanoic acid may participate in various biochemical processes and can be involved in the synthesis of bioactive lipids. Its structural features may also contribute to its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries, where it could serve as an emulsifier or stabilizer. Additionally, the presence of the hydroxyl group may enhance its functionality in biological systems, potentially influencing cell membrane properties and signaling pathways. Overall, this compound represents a unique class of fatty acids with diverse applications and biological significance.
