:Docosanoic acid,2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester
Description:
Docosanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester, also known as behenic acid 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester, is an ester derived from docosanoic acid (a long-chain saturated fatty acid) and a glycerol derivative featuring hydroxyl groups at the 2 and 3 positions. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its potential applications in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals as an emollient or emulsifier. The presence of hydroxyl groups enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may impart additional functional properties, such as improved skin compatibility. The compound is generally stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, to avoid potential irritation or adverse reactions. Overall, docosanoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester is valued for its unique structural features and functional applications in various industries.
