8-HYDROXYOCTANOIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

light yellow powder

Uses

8-Hydroxyoctanoic Acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of mono-carboxy-isooctyl-phthalate (M525590). 8-Hydroxyoctanoic Acid is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of histone deacetylases (HDAC) inhibitors with an N-formyl hydroxylamine head group which are promising targets for cancer chemotherapy.

Definition

ChEBI: An omega-hydroxy fatty acid that is caprylic acid in which one of the hydrogens of the terminal methyl group is replaced by a hydroxy group.

General Description

8-Hydroxyoctanoic acid is one of the constituents of ‘‘Royal jelly′′ acid found in herbhoneys and genuine honeys.
