Lauric acid, systematically dodecanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain, thus having many properties of medium-chain fatty acids. [6] It is a bright white, powdery solid with a faint odor of bay oil or soap. The salts and esters of lauric acid are known as laurates.
The results obtained are in mol%, but the method has its place, where other methods of analysis fail. In the laboratory, lauric acid may be used to investigate the molar mass of an unknown substance via the freezing-point depression. The choice of lauric acid is convenient because the melting point of the pure compound is relatively high (43.8 ...

Lauric acid can be ingested in coconut oil and the human body converts it into monolaurin. Furthermore, coconut oil, coconut cream, grated coconut and others products are sources of lauric acid and, consequently, monolaurin. [2]
It is the acid chloride of lauric acid. Lauroyl chloride is a standard reagent for installing the lauroyl group. [2] It is mainly produced as a precursor to dilauroyl peroxide, which is widely used in free-radical polymerizations. [3] Lauroyl chloride is a substrate for diverse reactions characteristic of acid chlorides.
