Description
3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid (CAS: 86404-04-8) is a stable derivative of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), obtained by ethylating the 3-hydroxyl group of L-ascorbic acid. It retains the antioxidant activity of vitamin C while having better fat solubility, stability and skin penetration than natural vitamin C, and is widely used in various industrial fields. 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid (CAS: 86404-04-8) is non-toxic, biodegradable, and has good compatibility with other ingredients, making it a versatile fine chemical raw material.
Synonyms
3-O-Ethylascorbic acid, Ethyl ascorbate, L-Ascorbic acid 3-ethyl ether, 3-Ethoxy-L-ascorbic acid, 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbate
Applications
1. Cosmetic Industry: 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid (CAS: 86404-04-8) is used as a skin brightening, anti-aging and antioxidant raw material, which can inhibit melanin synthesis, reduce skin pigmentation, and improve skin elasticity and luster. It is widely added to facial serums, creams, lotions and other skin care products due to its good stability and skin absorption. 2. Pharmaceutical Industry: 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid (CAS: 86404-04-8) is used as an API or pharmaceutical intermediate, mainly for the production of drugs with antioxidant and immune-enhancing effects, and can also be used as a vitamin supplement in pharmaceutical formulations. 3. Food Industry: 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid (CAS: 86404-04-8) serves as a food additive, acting as an antioxidant and preservative to extend the shelf life of food, prevent food oxidation and discoloration, and maintain the nutritional value and flavor of food. It is suitable for beverages, pastries, meat products and other food categories. 4. Fine Chemical Industry: 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid (CAS: 86404-04-8) is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other fine chemicals, such as functional materials, antioxidants and organic synthesis intermediates, and has broad application prospects in the field of fine chemical synthesis.
