2-Hydroxyethyl octanoate, with the CAS number 4219-47-0, is an ester formed from the reaction of octanoic acid and 2-hydroxyethanol. 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 octanoate chain. The presence of the hydroxyethyl group imparts some polar characteristics, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other substances. 2-Hydroxyethyl octanoate is often used in various applications, including as an emulsifier, surfactant, or in the formulation of personal care products and cosmetics. Its properties make it suitable for enhancing the stability and texture of formulations. Additionally, it may have applications in the food industry and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. As with many chemical substances, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to mitigate any risks associated with exposure.
