CAS 64633-19-8

Undecanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester

Description:

Undecanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester, also known by its CAS number 64633-19-8, is an ester derived from undecanoic acid and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl alcohol. This compound typically exhibits characteristics common to fatty acid esters, including being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. It is generally soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic undecanoic acid component. The presence of hydroxyl groups in the structure contributes to its potential for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its physical properties such as viscosity and melting point. This compound may be used in various applications, including as an emulsifier, surfactant, or in the formulation of personal care products. Additionally, its biodegradable nature makes it an attractive option in environmentally friendly formulations. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or strong acids/bases, reverting to its constituent acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.
