Methyl 12-hydroxydodecanoate

CAS: 71655-36-2

Methyl 12-hydroxydodecanoate is a fatty acid that is produced by the reaction of dodecanedioic acid and methanol. The methyl group is attached to the carbon of the carboxyl group, yielding methyl 12-hydroxydodecanoate. The reaction mechanism for this process is similar to that of fatty acid synthesis in other organisms, where a thiodisaccharide reacts with a free fatty acid. This reaction results in the production of regiospecific methyl 12-hydroxydodecanoate. Methyl 12-hydroxydodecanoate has been shown to have potential as an antimicrobial agent due to its ability to inhibit bacterial uptake and cause cell lysis in bacteria such as E. coli K-12 and S. aureus strains.
