The occurrence of 3,5-Bis(octyloxy)benzoic acid is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3,5-Bis(octyloxy)benzoic acid (CAS 87963-85-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C23H38O4 and a molecular weight of 378.55 g/mol.
Structurally, 3,5-Bis(octyloxy)benzoic acid (C23H38O4) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 378.55 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
