CAS 88104-31-8
:Propanoic acid, 2-chloro-, octadecyl ester
Description:
Propanoic acid, 2-chloro-, octadecyl ester, also known by its CAS number 88104-31-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from propanoic acid and octadecanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic alkyl chain. The presence of the chlorine atom at the second carbon position of the propanoic acid moiety introduces unique reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. This compound may exhibit properties such as surfactancy, making it useful in formulations for emulsifiers or stabilizers in cosmetic and personal care products. Additionally, its ester nature suggests it may undergo hydrolysis under certain conditions, releasing the corresponding acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as the chlorine substituent may impart specific health and environmental considerations.
