Decanoic acid, 2-mercaptoethyl ester

Description:
Decanoic acid, 2-mercaptoethyl ester, also known as ethyl 2-mercapto-decanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from decanoic acid and 2-mercaptoethanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The compound features a long hydrophobic carbon chain, which contributes to its lipophilic properties, while the mercaptoethyl group introduces a thiol functionality, imparting unique reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. Decanoic acid itself is a saturated fatty acid, and its esterification with 2-mercaptoethanol results in a compound that may exhibit antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. This substance is of interest in fields such as organic synthesis, fragrance formulation, and possibly in the development of surfactants or emulsifiers due to its amphiphilic nature. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as compounds containing thiol groups can be reactive and may have specific health hazards associated with them.
