8-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid

Description:
8-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid, also known as 8-hydroxystearic acid, is a fatty acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the eighth carbon of the octadecanoic acid chain. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. It exhibits both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, making it useful in various applications, including as an emulsifier, surfactant, and stabilizer in cosmetic formulations and industrial products. The hydroxyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in esterification and other chemical reactions. Additionally, 8-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid has potential applications in the synthesis of polymers and as a lubricant additive due to its ability to reduce friction. Its unique structure and properties make it a valuable compound in both chemical research and industrial applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
