Docosanoic acid, dodecyl ester

Description:
Docosanoic acid, dodecyl ester, also known as dodecyl docosanoate, is an ester formed from the reaction of docosanoic acid (a long-chain saturated fatty acid) and dodecanol (a long-chain alcohol). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. It is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chains, which makes it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the ester functional group imparts certain properties, such as lower volatility compared to the corresponding acid and alcohol. Docosanoic acid, dodecyl ester is often utilized in various applications, including cosmetics, personal care products, and as a lubricant or surfactant in industrial formulations. Its long carbon chain contributes to its emollient properties, making it effective in skin conditioning. Additionally, it may exhibit low toxicity and biodegradability, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally friendly chemical substances.
