7-Hydroxyheptanoic acid - Introduction
7-Hydroxyheptanoic acid, also known as 7-Hydroxyheptanoic acid, is an organic compound. Its molecular formula is C7H14O3 and its structural formula is HO(CH2)5COOH.
7-Hydroxyheptanoic acid is a white solid that is soluble in water and organic solvents at room temperature. It has the dual nature of carboxylic acid and alcohol, can occur esterification, ester hydrolysis and acylation reaction.
This compound is mainly used in the preparation of drugs and intermediates in organic synthesis. As a chiral compound, it can be used as a raw material for the synthesis of drugs, plant hormones and perfumes. In addition, 7-Hydroxyheptanoic acid can also be used for synthetic polymers, biodegradable plastics and surfactants.
There are two main methods for preparing 7-Hydroxyheptanoic acid: one is to prepare by oxidizing 7-heptanol, using oxidants such as manganese dioxide (MnO2) or oxygen (O2) for reaction; The other is obtained by hydrohydrolysis of heptanolactone.
Regarding safety information, 7-Hydroxyheptanoic acid generally has low toxicity and is less harmful to humans and the environment. However, contact with skin, eyes, or inhalation of excessive amounts of dust or gas may cause irritation and discomfort. Therefore, during the operation, it is necessary to take protective measures, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves and protective masks, and maintain a good ventilation environment. In addition, avoid contact with strong oxidants and flammable materials, and store in a dry and cool place. If necessary, refer to the relevant safety data form for more detailed safety information.
