Methyl eicosanoate

Description:

Methyl eicosanoate is an ester derived from eicosanoic acid, a long-chain fatty acid, and methanol. It is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which typically consists of 20 carbon atoms, contributing to its hydrophobic nature. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a relatively low solubility in water due to its non-polar characteristics. Methyl eicosanoate is primarily used in the production of biodiesel and as a potential bio-lubricant, owing to its favorable properties such as high viscosity and thermal stability. Additionally, it can serve as a model compound in studies related to lipid metabolism and fatty acid behavior. Its molecular structure includes a methyl group attached to the carboxylate end of the fatty acid chain, influencing its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point and reactivity. As with many esters, it may exhibit a pleasant, fruity odor, making it of interest in flavor and fragrance applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.

Methyl arachidate

CAS: 1120-28-1

Methyl arachidate is a fatty acid that is used as a precursor in the production of biodiesel. It can be synthesized by reacting methyl eicosanoate with methanol in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a base. Methyl arachidate can be isolated from natural sources such as animal fats and plant oils, but it is more commonly manufactured industrially. This compound has been shown to be a sensitive index for determining the quality of photosynthetic pigments and has been used as an intermediate in the preparation of other compounds such as polymers and pharmaceuticals. Methyl arachidate is also found in human tissue lipids, where it binds with benzyl groups to form polymer films. Methyl arachidate is typically used commercially because it can be converted into fatty esters, which are important for manufacturing products like cosmetics, detergents, and lubricants.
