Vinyl laurate, with the CAS number 2146-71-6, is an ester derived from lauric acid and vinyl alcohol. It is characterized by its chemical formula, which reflects the presence of a vinyl group (–CH=CH2) attached to a laurate moiety (the fatty acid derived from lauric acid). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. Vinyl laurate is known for its ability to polymerize, making it useful in various applications, particularly in the production of polymers and copolymers. It exhibits good solubility in organic solvents and is relatively stable under normal conditions. Additionally, vinyl laurate can be used as a surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic formulations and other industrial applications. Its properties, such as low viscosity and reactivity, make it suitable for use in coatings, adhesives, and sealants. As with many chemical substances, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to minimize exposure and ensure safe usage.
