CAPRYLETH-9 CARBOXYLIC ACID

Capryleth-9 carboxylic acid is manufactured from vegetable oils (coconut, palm, kernel, or palm stearene) by first refining the oil, followed by methyl transesterification and separation by distillation. 
The separated methyl octanoate is saponified and acidified to give Capryleth-9 carboxylic acid.

Many Capryleth-9 carboxylic acids are produced industrially on a large scale. They are also frequently found in nature.

Esters of fatty acids are the main components of lipids and polyamides of aminocarboxylic acids are the main components of proteins.
Capryleth-9 carboxylic acids are used in the production of polymers, pharmaceuticals, solvents, and food additives. 
Industrially important carboxylic acids include acetic acid (component of vinegar, precursor to solvents and coatings), acrylic and methacrylic acids (precursors to polymers, adhesives), adipic acid (polymers), citric acid (a flavor and preservative in food and beverages), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (chelating agent), fatty acids (coatings), maleic acid (polymers), propionic acid (food preservative), terephthalic acid (polymers). 
Important carboxylate salts are soaps.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:


- Solubility:

Capryleth-9 carboxylic acids are polar. Because they are both hydrogen-bond acceptors (the carbonyl –C=O) and hydrogen-bond donors (the hydroxyl –OH), they also participate in hydrogen bonding. 
Together, the hydroxyl and carbonyl group form the functional group carboxyl. 
Capryleth-9 carboxylic acids usually exist as dimers in nonpolar media due to their tendency to "self-associate". 

Smaller carboxylic acids (1 to 5 carbons) are soluble in water, whereas bigger carboxylic acids have limited solubility due to the increasing hydrophobic nature of the alkyl chain. 
These longer chain acids tend to be soluble in less-polar solvents such as ethers and alcohols. 

Aqueous sodium hydroxide and carboxylic acids, even hydrophobic ones, react to yield water-soluble sodium salts. 
For example, enathic acid has a low solubility in water (0.2 g/L), but its sodium salt is very soluble in water.


- Boiling point:

Capryleth-9 carboxylic acids tend to have higher boiling points than water, because of their greater surface areas and their tendency to form stabilised dimers through hydrogen bonds. 

For boiling to occur, either the dimer bonds must be broken or the entire dimer arrangement must be vaporised, increasing the enthalpy of vaporization requirements significantly.


- Acidity:

Capryleth-9 carboxylic acids are Brønsted–Lowry acids because they are proton (H+) donors. 
They are the most common type of organic acid.

Capryleth-9 carboxylic acids are typically weak acids, meaning that they only partially dissociate into H3O+ cations and RCOO− anions in neutral aqueous solution. 
For example, at room temperature, in a 1-molar solution of acetic acid, only 0.4% of the acid are dissociated.


- Odor:

Capryleth-9 carboxylic acids often have strong sour odours. 
Esters of carboxylic acids tend to have pleasant odours, and many are used in perfume.
