Methyl palmitoleate

Description:
Methyl palmitoleate is an ester derived from palmitoleic acid and methanol, classified as a fatty acid methyl ester. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. This compound is notable for its unsaturated fatty acid structure, featuring a cis double bond at the ninth carbon from the methyl end, which contributes to its fluidity and potential applications in various fields. Methyl palmitoleate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is often used in the production of biodiesel, as well as in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations due to its emollient properties. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activities, including potential anti-inflammatory effects. Its chemical formula is C17H34O2, and it has a molecular weight that reflects its fatty acid composition. As with many fatty acid esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and enzymes, reverting to its constituent fatty acid and alcohol.
