Description:4-(Decyloxy)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 5519-23-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of a long aliphatic chain. It features a benzoic acid moiety substituted at the para position with a decyloxy group, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white solid appearance and is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic decyl chain. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group allows for potential hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties such as melting point and boiling point. 4-(Decyloxy)benzoic acid is often studied in the context of liquid crystal applications, surfactants, and as a potential additive in various chemical formulations. Its unique structure allows it to interact with both polar and nonpolar environments, making it valuable in materials science and organic chemistry research.
