Description:Methyl palmitelaidate is an ester derived from palmitelaidic acid and methanol. It is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. Methyl palmitelaidate is known for its relatively low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents, which is common for fatty acid esters. Its melting and boiling points are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the presence of the double bond in the palmitelaidic acid structure. This substance is often utilized in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in cosmetics, and in the production of biodiesel. Additionally, it may serve as a model compound in studies related to lipid metabolism and fatty acid behavior. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.
