12-HYDROXYDODECANOIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to off-white powder

Uses

12-Hydroxylauric Acid is used in the structural and functional characterization of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase from Solanum lycopersicum.

Uses

12-Hydroxydodecanoic acid was used in the synthesis of high molecular weight poly[(12-hydroxydodecanoate)-co-(12-hydroxystearate)] [poly(12HD-co-12HS)] samples with variable monomer ratios using methyl 12-hydroxystearate.

Definition

ChEBI: 12-hydroxylauric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid that is the 12-hydroxylated derivative of lauric acid. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is functionally related to a dodecanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 12-hydroxylaurate.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid from toluene [Sadowik et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 7789 1986]. [Beilstein 3 III 658.]
