Hexadecanolide

Description:

Hexadecanolide, also known as 1-hexadecanolide or hexadecan-1-olide, is a cyclic ester with the chemical formula C16H30O2. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, which contributes to its waxy texture and hydrophobic properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. Hexadecanolide is known for its pleasant, fatty odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. It is also utilized in the formulation of various cosmetic products due to its emollient properties. The substance is relatively stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its solubility is limited in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Hexadecanolide is not classified as a hazardous substance, but standard safety precautions should be observed when handling it. Overall, its unique properties make it valuable in both industrial and consumer applications.
