HYDROXYLAURIC ACID - Risk and Safety
HYDROXYLAURIC ACID - Introduction
2-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID, also known as 2-Hydroxydodecanoic acid or 2-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID, chemical formula for C12H24O3, is a carboxylic acid organic compounds.
Properties: 2-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID is a colorless to light yellow solid, soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, dimethylformamide, etc., slightly soluble in water. It has carboxylic acid and hydroxyl functional groups, so it has a certain acidity and hydrophilicity.
Uses: 2-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID is mainly used in industry and research. It is an important surfactant intermediate that can be used to prepare compounds with surface-active properties, such as sodium 2-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID, etc. 2-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID can also be used as polymer additives, lubricants, dyes, rust inhibitors, etc.
Preparation method: 2-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID can be obtained by various synthetic routes. One of the commonly used methods is to oxidize lauric ACID with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce 2-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID.
Safety information: 2-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID is generally safe under normal use conditions. However, as an organic compound, it can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Wear appropriate protective gloves and glasses during operation, and take care to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. If you accidentally touch or eat, should immediately wash or medical treatment.
