Description

Octadecyl 3-Mercaptopropionate is a hydrophilic compound that is insoluble in water. It has been shown to be a good moisturizer with long-acting effects. This compound can also be used as a solvent or as an intermediate in the production of other compounds. Octadecyl 3-Mercaptopropionate is reactive and nucleophilic, but it does not react with alcohols or water. The chemical's thermal energy is low, which prevents it from reacting with UV radiation. Octadecyl 3-Mercaptopropionate does not have any catalytic properties and its reactions are unreactive. The compound is hydrophobic and hydrophilic, which makes it useful in strategies for solar energy conversion.
