:Octadecanoic acid, iodo-, ethyl ester
Description:
Octadecanoic acid, iodo-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 18-iodo-octadecanoate, is an ester derived from octadecanoic acid (commonly known as stearic acid) and ethanol, with an iodine atom substituting one of the hydrogen atoms in the alkyl chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. It is characterized by its long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its lipophilic properties, making it soluble in organic solvents but less soluble in water. The presence of the iodine atom can impart unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, particularly in organic chemistry for introducing iodine into other compounds. Additionally, its fatty acid backbone may exhibit properties typical of fatty acids, such as being a potential surfactant or emulsifier. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as iodine-containing compounds can pose health risks. Overall, this compound is of interest in both synthetic organic chemistry and potential applications in materials science.
