Decanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-, methyl ester

Description:

Decanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 3-hydroxydecanoate, is an ester derived from decanoic acid and methanol. This compound features a long hydrophobic carbon chain, which contributes to its lipid-like properties. It has a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the third carbon position, which imparts some polar characteristics, making it more soluble in polar solvents compared to typical fatty acid esters. The presence of the methyl ester functional group enhances its volatility and reactivity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a flavoring agent, fragrance component, or in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Its molecular structure allows for potential applications in the food and cosmetic industries, as well as in the production of biodiesel. Additionally, due to its fatty acid nature, it may exhibit biological activity, which could be of interest in pharmaceutical research. Overall, this compound is characterized by its unique balance of hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making it versatile in both industrial and research settings.
