Methyl oleate

Description:
Methyl oleate is an ester derived from oleic acid and methanol, classified under the category of fatty acid methyl esters. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. Methyl oleate is known for its hydrophobic properties, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its molecular formula is C18H34O2, and it has a relatively low viscosity, which contributes to its use in various applications. Methyl oleate is commonly utilized as a biodiesel feedstock, a solvent, and in the formulation of cosmetics and personal care products due to its emollient properties. Additionally, it serves as a surfactant and is involved in the production of lubricants and plasticizers. The substance is generally regarded as safe for use in food and cosmetic applications, although it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation. Its stability under normal conditions makes it a valuable compound in both industrial and research settings.
