| Common Name | Glycerol trihexanoate |
|---|
| Description | Glycerol trihexanoate, also known as glycerol tricaproic acid or 1,2,3-tricaproylglycerol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triacylglycerols. These are glycerides consisting of three fatty acid chains covalently bonded to a glycerol molecule through ester linkages. A triglyceride obtained by condensation of each of the three hydroxy groups of glycerol with hexanoic (caproic) acid. Glycerol trihexanoate was first documented in 1972 (PMID: 5031847). Glycerol trihexanoate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) (PMID: 10917917) (PMID: 3146344) (PMID: 6612095) (PMID: 7040975). |
