ricinoleic acid methyl ester

Description:
Ricinoleic acid methyl ester, with the CAS number 141-24-2, is an ester derived from ricinoleic acid, which is a fatty acid obtained from castor oil. This compound is characterized by its long carbon chain, typically containing 18 carbon atoms, and features a hydroxyl group, which contributes to its unique properties. Ricinoleic acid methyl ester is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The compound exhibits emulsifying properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and as a surfactant in industrial processes. Additionally, it has potential applications in biodiesel production due to its fatty acid composition. Ricinoleic acid methyl ester is also known for its lubricating properties and can be used in formulations requiring enhanced viscosity and stability. Safety data indicates that while it is generally considered safe for use in regulated applications, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed.
