CAS 4316-44-3

4-Oxooctanoic acid

Description:

4-Oxooctanoic acid, also known as capryloylglycine or by its CAS number 4316-44-3, is a fatty acid derivative characterized by a carboxylic acid functional group and a ketone group located at the fourth carbon of an eight-carbon chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. 4-Oxooctanoic acid is known for its applications in various fields, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, where it can act as a surfactant, emulsifier, or preservative. Its structure allows it to interact with biological membranes, making it of interest in studies related to skin penetration and antimicrobial activity. Additionally, it may play a role in metabolic processes and has been investigated for its potential health benefits. As with many organic acids, it is important to handle it with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or mucous membranes.
