CAS 7779-95-5
:5-Hydroxydodecanoic acid
Description:
5-Hydroxydodecanoic acid, with the CAS number 7779-95-5, is a fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain and a hydroxyl functional group. It features a 12-carbon backbone, typical of dodecanoic acids, with a hydroxyl group (-OH) located at the fifth carbon position. This structural arrangement imparts both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, making it amphiphilic. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and oxidation. 5-Hydroxydodecanoic acid is often studied for its potential applications in biochemistry and materials science, including its role in the synthesis of surfactants, emulsifiers, and biodegradable polymers. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which could be of interest in pharmaceutical research. Its physical properties, such as melting point and solubility, are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the presence of the hydroxyl group, contributing to its unique characteristics among fatty acids.
