8-oxododecanoic acid

Description:
8-Oxododecanoic acid, also known as 8-oxodecanoic acid, is a fatty acid characterized by the presence of a ketone functional group at the eighth carbon of its dodecane chain. This compound typically features a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. The molecular structure includes a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) at one end, which imparts acidic properties and enables it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. 8-Oxododecanoic acid is of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to oxidative stress and lipid metabolism, as it can serve as a marker for oxidative damage to lipids. Its potential applications extend to the fields of biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science, where it may be utilized in the synthesis of bioactive compounds or as a surfactant. Overall, the unique structural features of 8-oxododecanoic acid make it a compound of significant interest in both research and industrial applications.
