:Octadecanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-2-[(1-oxohexadecyl)oxy]propyl ester
Description:
Octadecanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-2-[(1-oxohexadecyl)oxy]propyl ester, also known as a specific type of fatty acid ester, is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. This compound features a glycerol backbone, with a hydroxyl group and an ester linkage, making it a type of glyceride. The presence of the octadecanoic acid (stearic acid) moiety imparts a degree of saturation, influencing its melting point and stability. The hexadecyl group adds to the overall hydrophobic character, which can affect solubility in various solvents. Typically, such esters are used in cosmetic formulations, food products, and as emulsifiers due to their ability to stabilize mixtures of oil and water. Additionally, they may exhibit bioactive properties, making them of interest in pharmaceutical applications. The molecular structure suggests potential for interactions with biological membranes, which could influence their behavior in biological systems. Overall, this compound exemplifies the characteristics of fatty acid esters, including their utility in various industrial and consumer applications.
