2-Hexyldecanoic acid

2-Hexyldecanoic acid is a lipid containing one carboxylic acid group and two non-polar tails. In the presence of EDC, HATU and DCC, carboxylic acid groups can undergo continuous amide coupling reactions with amine-containing biomolecules to form stable amide bonds. 2-Hexyldecanoic acid can be used as an aerolysin inhibitor to prevent bacterial pathogens. 2-Hexyldecanoic acid can cause contact dermatitis[3].
