CAS 73392-13-9

Oxiraneoctanoic acid, 3-hexyl-, trans- (9CI)

Description:

Oxiraneoctanoic acid, 3-hexyl-, trans- (9CI), with the CAS number 73392-13-9, is a chemical compound characterized by its unique structure that includes an epoxide group (oxirane) and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics due to the presence of the long hydrocarbon chain (hexyl group) and the polar carboxylic acid. It is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the specific conditions and purity. The trans configuration suggests a specific geometric arrangement of the substituents around the oxirane ring, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Oxiraneoctanoic acid derivatives may find applications in various fields, including surfactants, emulsifiers, and potentially in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds. As with many chemical substances, safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and toxicity information, as the presence of the epoxide group can indicate potential reactivity and health hazards.
