Dodecanoic acid, 2-[(3-iodo-2-propynyl)oxy]ethyl ester

Description:
Dodecanoic acid, 2-[(3-iodo-2-propynyl)oxy]ethyl ester, also known as lauric acid ester, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from dodecanoic acid (lauric acid) and a 3-iodo-2-propynyl moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic dodecyl chain. The presence of the iodine atom in the propynyl group may impart unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as a potential antimicrobial agent or in the development of pharmaceuticals. The compound's structure suggests it may exhibit properties typical of fatty acid esters, such as being a surfactant or emulsifier. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as iodine-containing compounds can pose health risks. Overall, this compound's characteristics make it of interest in both industrial and research settings.
