CAS 72864-23-4

methyl 3-hydroxydodecanoate

Description:

Methyl 3-hydroxydodecanoate, with the CAS number 72864-23-4, is an ester derived from dodecanoic acid (lauric acid) and methanol, featuring a hydroxyl group at the third carbon position of the dodecanoic chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. Methyl 3-hydroxydodecanoate is known for its potential applications in the cosmetic and fragrance industries, as well as in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and transesterification. Additionally, it may exhibit properties such as antimicrobial activity, making it of interest in food preservation and other applications. As with many esters, it is important to handle this compound with care, considering its potential effects on health and the environment.
