CAS 88168-99-4
:Propanoic acid, 3-chloro-, octadecyl ester
Description:
Propanoic acid, 3-chloro-, octadecyl ester, also known by its CAS number 88168-99-4, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from propanoic acid and octadecanol. This compound typically exhibits a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain due to the octadecyl group, which contributes to its lipophilic properties. The presence of the 3-chloro substituent on the propanoic acid moiety can influence its reactivity and biological activity, potentially imparting antimicrobial or herbicidal properties. In terms of physical characteristics, esters like this one often have lower boiling points compared to their corresponding acids and may be less soluble in water due to their hydrophobic nature. They are commonly used in various applications, including as surfactants, emulsifiers, or in the formulation of personal care products. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as the presence of chlorine may raise concerns regarding toxicity and environmental impact.
