Tetradecanoic acid, 3-oxo-, monoester with 1,2,3-propanetriol

Description:

Tetradecanoic acid, 3-oxo-, monoester with 1,2,3-propanetriol, commonly known as a glycerol ester, is a chemical compound characterized by its structure, which includes a tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid) moiety linked to glycerol. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with fatty acids and glycerides, such as being hydrophobic and having a relatively high melting point due to the long carbon chain. It is likely to be a viscous liquid or solid at room temperature, depending on its specific formulation and purity. The presence of the keto group (3-oxo) suggests potential reactivity, particularly in condensation reactions or as a precursor in various synthetic pathways. This compound may find applications in food, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals, serving as an emulsifier, thickening agent, or flavoring agent. Its safety profile would need to be evaluated based on its intended use, but generally, fatty acid esters are considered to have low toxicity. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
