Octanoic acid, 8-hydroxy-, ethyl ester

Description:
Octanoic acid, 8-hydroxy-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 93892-06-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is derived from octanoic acid, a medium-chain fatty acid, and features a hydroxyl group at the 8-position, which contributes to its unique properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Octanoic acid derivatives are often utilized in various applications, including as flavoring agents, fragrances, and in the formulation of personal care products. The presence of the hydroxyl group may impart additional functionalities, such as potential antioxidant properties. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or strong acids/bases, reverting to its parent acid and alcohol. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
