Description

4-Hexyloxybenzoic acid (4HB) is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 137.8 °C. It has a molecular weight of 212.2 g/mol and a solubility in water of 0.1g/L at 25 °C. 4HB is not soluble in acetone, ether, or hexane and only slightly soluble in ethanol. The optical properties are: an extinction coefficient ε = 24700 M−1 cm−1, λmax = 318 nm, and λmax = 681 nm. 4HB is optically active with the dipole moment μ = 0.7 D and has an asymmetric hydrogen bond between the alkylthio group and hydroxy group, which gives it chemical stability against heat and light.
