Pentanedioic acid, 3-(11-cyclohexylpentadecyl)-3-hydroxy-

Description:

Pentanedioic acid, 3-(11-cyclohexylpentadecyl)-3-hydroxy- is a complex organic compound characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and functional groups. This substance features a pentanedioic acid backbone, which consists of a five-carbon dicarboxylic acid structure, contributing to its acidity and potential for forming esters or amides. The presence of a cyclohexyl group and a long pentadecyl chain enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 3-position introduces polarity, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. This compound may exhibit properties typical of surfactants or emulsifiers due to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to interact with both polar and nonpolar substances. Its unique structure suggests potential applications in various fields, including materials science, pharmaceuticals, and chemical synthesis, although specific applications would depend on further research into its properties and behavior in different environments.
