:Octanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester
Description:
Octanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 4228-48-2, is an ester derived from octanoic acid and a specific hydroxyethyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic octanoic acid component. The presence of hydroxyl groups in its structure imparts some degree of polarity, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other substances. Octanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in various applications, including as emulsifiers, surfactants, and in the formulation of personal care products due to their skin-conditioning properties. Additionally, this compound may exhibit antimicrobial activity, making it of interest in food preservation and cosmetic formulations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
