Decanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-1-methylpropyl ester

Description:
Decanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-1-methylpropyl ester, also known as 3-hydroxy-1-methylpropyl decanoate, is an ester derived from decanoic acid and 3-hydroxy-1-methylpropanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The molecular structure features a long hydrophobic tail from the decanoic acid component, which contributes to its properties as a surfactant and emulsifier. This ester is often used in the food and cosmetic industries for its emollient properties, as well as in the formulation of various products due to its ability to enhance texture and stability. Additionally, it may exhibit low toxicity, making it suitable for applications in consumer products. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, reverting to its parent acid and alcohol under certain conditions.
