3-Hydroxyoctanedioic acid

Description:

3-Hydroxyoctanedioic acid, also known as 3-hydroxysebacic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two carboxyl (-COOH) groups and a hydroxyl (-OH) group on its carbon chain. It has a molecular formula that reflects its structure, consisting of a straight-chain octanedioic acid with a hydroxyl group at the third carbon position. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in water and organic solvents, which enhances its utility in various applications. Its properties include being a potential intermediate in the synthesis of biodegradable polymers and surfactants, as well as serving as a building block in organic synthesis. The presence of both carboxylic and hydroxyl functional groups allows for versatile reactivity, making it useful in the production of esters and other derivatives. Additionally, 3-hydroxyoctanedioic acid may exhibit biological activity, contributing to its interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research.
