:Octadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-iodopropyl ester
Description:
Octadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-iodopropyl ester, also known as glyceryl stearate iodide, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from octadecanoic acid (stearic acid) and a modified glycerol moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or waxy substance and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. The presence of the iodine atom introduces unique properties, such as potential antimicrobial activity and enhanced reactivity in various chemical processes. It is often utilized in cosmetic formulations, pharmaceuticals, and as an emulsifying agent due to its ability to stabilize oil-water mixtures. Additionally, the compound may exhibit surfactant properties, making it useful in various industrial applications. Safety data should be consulted, as the iodine content may pose specific health risks, and handling should follow appropriate safety guidelines.
