6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid acts as a useful reagent in synthetic chemistry. It is used as a precursor to prepare surface active monomers. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid is an omega-hydroxy fatty acid comprising hexanoic acid having a hydroxy group at the 6-position. It has a role as a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite. It is a 6-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid, a straight-chain fatty acid and an omega-hydroxy-medium-chain fatty acid. It is functionally related to a hexanoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 6-hydroxyhexanoate. |
