Tetradecanoic acid, methyl ester

Description:
Tetradecanoic acid, methyl ester, also known as methyl myristate, is an ester derived from myristic acid and methanol. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. Tetradecanoic acid, methyl ester has a relatively low viscosity and a moderate boiling point, typical of fatty acid esters. It is commonly used in the cosmetic and food industries as an emollient and flavoring agent, respectively. Additionally, it serves as a model compound in various biochemical studies and is utilized in the synthesis of surfactants and other chemical intermediates. The compound is generally regarded as safe for use in food and cosmetic applications, although, like many esters, it may cause irritation upon prolonged skin contact. Its chemical structure consists of a long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its properties and applications in various fields.
