CAS 4219-48-1

2-Hydroxyethyl dodecanoate

Description:

2-Hydroxyethyl dodecanoate, with the CAS number 4219-48-1, is an ester derived from dodecanoic acid (also known as lauric acid) and 2-hydroxyethanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, fatty odor. It is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chain of the dodecanoate group, while the hydroxyethyl moiety introduces some hydrophilicity. This dual nature makes it useful in various applications, including as an emulsifier, surfactant, or solvent in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. The compound is generally soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical stability and low toxicity profile make it suitable for use in personal care products. Additionally, 2-hydroxyethyl dodecanoate can participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and transesterification, which can be leveraged in synthetic organic chemistry. Overall, its unique properties make it a valuable ingredient in formulations requiring both emulsifying and moisturizing characteristics.

2-Hydroxyethyl laurate

CAS: 4219-48-1

1-Lauroyl ethylene glycol is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the fatty acid component of cell membranes. It has been shown to induce rapid lysis of Staphylococcus aureus cells in the presence of plasma glucose, chloride, and fatty acids. Monolaurate is formed as a byproduct during this process. 1-Lauroyl ethylene glycol also has the potential to be used as an adjuvant for vaccines, due to its ability to induce an immune response against antigens in mice. The monoclonal antibody can be used as a carrier for hydroxylated drugs and solid dispersions such as antibiotics. 1-Lauroyl ethylene glycol is soluble at low pH levels, making it suitable for oral administration.
