Heptanoic acid, 1,1′-[1,2-ethanediylbis(oxy-2,1-ethanediyl)] ester

Description:

Heptanoic acid, 1,1′-[1,2-ethanediylbis(oxy-2,1-ethanediyl)] ester, also known by its CAS number 7434-40-4, is an ester derived from heptanoic acid and a diethylene glycol moiety. This compound typically exhibits a moderate to high molecular weight and is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long carbon chain of the heptanoic acid component. It is generally a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. The presence of the ether linkages in the structure contributes to its solubility properties, allowing it to dissolve in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Heptanoic acid derivatives are often used in various applications, including as surfactants, emulsifiers, and in the formulation of personal care products. Additionally, due to its fatty acid structure, it may also have applications in the food industry and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
