13-Hydroxytridecanoic acid

Description:
13-Hydroxytridecanoic acid is a long-chain fatty acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 13th carbon of the tridecanoic acid chain. This compound is classified as a hydroxy fatty acid, which typically exhibits unique properties compared to its non-hydroxylated counterparts. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic long carbon chain. The hydroxyl group contributes to its potential reactivity, allowing for various chemical modifications and applications in the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other specialty chemicals. Additionally, 13-hydroxytridecanoic acid may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in fields such as biochemistry and pharmacology. Its molecular structure influences its melting point, boiling point, and other physical properties, which are essential for understanding its behavior in different environments and applications.
