CAS 6221-93-8
:Dodecyl propanoate
Description:
Dodecyl propanoate, with the CAS number 6221-93-8, is an ester formed from the reaction of dodecanol and propanoic acid. It is characterized by its long hydrophobic dodecyl chain, which contributes to its surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as an emulsifier and in formulations for personal care products. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. Dodecyl propanoate is relatively non-toxic and has low volatility, which enhances its stability in formulations. Its hydrophobic nature allows it to effectively reduce surface tension, facilitating the mixing of oil and water phases. Additionally, it exhibits good solubility in organic solvents, making it versatile in chemical processes. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, particularly under acidic or basic conditions, leading to the release of the corresponding alcohol and acid. Overall, dodecyl propanoate is valued for its functional properties in both industrial and consumer applications.

dodecyl propanoate
CAS:<p>Dodecyl propionate is a diagnostic agent that is used to detect the presence of dodecyl groups in polymeric matrices. Dodecyl propionate has been used in the synthesis of polymeric matrices, which can be used for light emission and skeletonization. Dodecyl propionate has been shown to react with hydroxyl groups to form esters, which are cross-linking agents that are important for the formation of polymers. The carboxylic acid group may also be used as a cross-linking agent. Dodecyl propanoate is often found in fatty acids, such as those found in infant formula.</p>Formula:C15H30O2Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:242.4 g/mol
