Chemical Property Profile of Dodecanoyl chloride
Property Insights of Dodecanoyl chloride
The XLogP value of 5.2 indicates that Dodecanoyl chloride is lipophilic (fat-soluble), which may influence its absorption, distribution, and formulation strategy. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 17.1 Ų, Dodecanoyl chloride exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Dodecanoyl chloride has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 1 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), which may warrant consideration for formulation optimization.
