Caprylohydroxamicacid CAS:7377-03-9

Caprylohydroxamic acid (CHxA) is an organic compound that contains a hydroxamic acid functional group bonded to an octanoic acid alkyl chain. The chemical formula is C8H17NO2. It is a white crystalline solid that melts between 69-71°C. As a fatty acid hydroxamate derivative, CHxA chelates metal cations and has antimicrobial properties.

Application and Effect:

Caprylohydroxamic acid finds primary application as a biocide and preservative in industrial water systems, cooling towers, and metalworking fluids. As a chelating agent, it sequesters metal cations that catalyze the growth of microbes. This prevents biofouling and corrosion. CHxA also acts directly as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, killing bacteria, fungi and algae. It is valued for its effectiveness, stability and low toxicity. In agriculture, it is used as a fungicide crop protectant and to disinfect surfaces. Caprylohydroxamic acid further helps prevent microbial spoilage of food, personal care products and other commodities as a preservative. Its fatty acid chain enhances solubility and penetration through films/membranes. Research employs CHxA to study microbial invasion pathways and metal detoxification mechanisms. It also aids in developing new classes of preservatives, antifoulants and antimicrobial coatings.
