Ethyl heptadecanoate

Description:
Ethyl heptadecanoate, with the CAS number 14010-23-2, is an ester formed from the reaction of heptadecanoic acid and ethanol. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 17 carbon atoms, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. Ethyl heptadecanoate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its non-polar nature. Its boiling point is relatively high due to the length of the carbon chain, and it has a moderate viscosity. In terms of stability, it is generally stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Ethyl heptadecanoate is also of interest in various fields, including food science and biochemistry, where it may serve as a model compound for studying lipid behavior and metabolism.
