1-O-Dodecylglycerol

Description:

1-O-Dodecylglycerol is a chemical compound characterized by its long hydrophobic dodecyl (C12) alkyl chain attached to a glycerol backbone. This structure imparts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making it an amphiphilic molecule. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its long hydrocarbon chain. 1-O-Dodecylglycerol is often used in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, or stabilizer in formulations, particularly in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Its unique properties allow it to enhance the solubility of hydrophobic compounds and improve the stability of emulsions. Additionally, it may have potential applications in drug delivery systems and as a model compound for studying membrane interactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
