CAS 88853-25-2
:Octanoic acid, 6,8-dihydroxy-, methyl ester, (R)-
Description:
Octanoic acid, 6,8-dihydroxy-, methyl ester, (R)-, with the CAS number 88853-25-2, is a chiral compound that belongs to the class of fatty acid esters. This substance features a long hydrocarbon chain, specifically an octanoic acid backbone, which is an eight-carbon saturated fatty acid. The presence of two hydroxyl (-OH) groups at the 6 and 8 positions of the carbon chain contributes to its unique properties, including increased polarity and potential for hydrogen bonding. As a methyl ester, it is formed by the esterification of octanoic acid with methanol, which can enhance its solubility in organic solvents. The (R)- configuration indicates its specific stereochemistry, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. This compound may have applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food science, due to its surfactant properties and potential as a flavoring agent. Its characteristics, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, would be influenced by its molecular structure and functional groups.
