:Nonanoic acid, 8-hydroxy-, methyl ester
Description:
Nonanoic acid, 8-hydroxy-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 8-hydroxynonanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from nonanoic acid and 8-hydroxy-1-nonanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nonanoic acid backbone. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a surfactant and emulsifying agent, enhancing its utility in various applications, including cosmetics and food products. Additionally, its structure suggests potential for use in the synthesis of more complex molecules in organic chemistry. Nonanoic acid, 8-hydroxy-, methyl ester may also exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. As with many esters, it is important to handle this compound with care, observing appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any risks associated with its use.
