CAS 619-39-6: 2-Octyldecanoic acid

Decanoic acid, 2-octyl- can be used for emulsifier or lubricant.

2-Octyldecanoic acid is a fatty acid that is used as a stabilizer in detergent compositions. This stabilizer is also utilizable at high alkali metal concentrations, which makes it suitable for use in hard water conditions. 2-Octyldecanoic acid has a low viscosity at room temperature, and the nature of its hydrocarbon chain leads to increased stability against decomposition when heated or exposed to carbon tetrachloride. It can be synthesized from an aliphatic hydrocarbon, such as octane, to form a macrocyclic ring structure. 2-Octyldecanoic acid also has optical properties that depend on the configuration of the carbon atoms. The molecule has two chiral centers and can exist in four different forms: erythro (E), threo (T), dithreo (D) and meso (M). The optical activity of 2-octyldecanoic acid depends
