:16-ketostearic acid
Description:
16-ketostearic acid, also known as 16-oxohexadecanoic acid, is a fatty acid characterized by the presence of a ketone functional group at the 16th carbon of the long hydrocarbon chain. It is a derivative of stearic acid, which is a saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain. The presence of the ketone group introduces unique properties, such as altered solubility and reactivity compared to its parent compound. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily used in biochemical research and industrial applications, including the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and other chemical intermediates. Additionally, 16-ketostearic acid may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmacological studies. Its molecular structure and properties make it a valuable compound in various fields, including organic chemistry and materials science.
