Octanoic Acid is a fatty acid with low toxicity.
Octanoic Acid is soluble in water and organic solvents such as ethanol and ether
It is a colorless or slightly yellow transparent oily liquid, highly soluble in ethanol or acetone, soluble in dilute solutions of alkali metal hydrox, and very slightly soluble in water.
When storing and handling capric acid, contact with strong oxidizers and flammable materials should be avoided, and it should be kept away from open flames and-temperature environments.
