Description

12-hydroxydodecanoic acid, also known as lauric acid, is a saturated fatty acid found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. It is a white, waxy solid at room temperature. 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid is used in the production of soaps, detergents, and cosmetics. It is also used as a food additive and in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Research on 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid focuses on its potential health benefits, including its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Studies have shown that 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid may help to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. The synthesis of 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid typically involves the oxidation of lauric acid. The compound is studied due to its potential health benefits and its use in various industries.'
