Eicosanoic acid, 1,1′-anhydride

Description:
Eicosanoic acid, 1,1′-anhydride, also known as behenic anhydride, is a chemical compound derived from eicosanoic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. It is characterized by its anhydride functional group, which results from the dehydration of two carboxylic acid groups. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. Eicosanoic acid, 1,1′-anhydride is primarily used in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and lubricants, owing to its ability to modify surface properties. Its long hydrocarbon chain contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it useful in various industrial applications, including cosmetics and personal care products. Additionally, it may exhibit properties such as thermal stability and resistance to oxidation, which are advantageous in formulations requiring durability. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
