2-Hydroxydecanoic acid

Description:

2-Hydroxydecanoic acid, also known as 2-hydroxy-1-decanecarboxylic acid, is a fatty acid characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the second carbon of a decanoic acid chain. This compound has a molecular formula of C10H20O3 and features a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents compared to typical fatty acids. 2-Hydroxydecanoic acid is known for its potential applications in various fields, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and as a surfactant due to its ability to lower surface tension. It can also participate in biochemical processes, such as acting as a precursor in the synthesis of other compounds. Additionally, its structural characteristics may influence its biological activity, making it of interest in research related to metabolic pathways and cellular functions. Overall, 2-hydroxydecanoic acid is a versatile compound with significant implications in both industrial and biological contexts.

(+/-)-2-Hydroxydecanoic acid

CAS: 5393-81-7

2-Hydroxydecanoic acid is a fatty acid that has a hydroxy group and a hydroxyl group. It is used as an active substance in pharmaceutical preparations and as a synthetic chemical intermediate. 2-Hydroxydecanoic acid can be produced by the oxidation of 2-hydroxyoctanoic acid with hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate. The analytical method for this compound is based on its constant boiling point (184°C). 2-Hydroxydecanoic acid has been shown to have nootropic activity in rats at nanomolar concentrations and also has sustained-release properties when it is incorporated into microspheres. The average particle diameter of these microspheres is 10 micrometers, which makes them suitable for use as a sustained-release drug delivery system.
