Dodecanoic acid, 5-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethenyl)-3-oxo-, methyl ester

Description:

Dodecanoic acid, 5-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethenyl)-3-oxo-, methyl ester, identified by the CAS number 88466-57-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of fatty acid esters. This substance features a dodecanoic acid backbone, which is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon chain, indicating its potential for hydrophobic interactions. The presence of a hydroxy group and a ketone functional group suggests that it may exhibit both polar and non-polar characteristics, influencing its solubility and reactivity. The methyl ester form indicates that the carboxylic acid group has been esterified, which can enhance its volatility and reduce its acidity compared to the free acid. Additionally, the presence of a vinyl group (1-methylethenyl) may impart unique reactivity, making it a candidate for various chemical transformations. Overall, this compound may have applications in fields such as biochemistry, materials science, and possibly as a flavor or fragrance component, although specific applications would depend on further research and characterization.
