:Methyl 3-oxohexadecanoate
Description:
Methyl 3-oxohexadecanoate, with the CAS number 14427-53-3, is an ester derived from hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid) and methanol. It features a long hydrocarbon chain, making it a fatty acid derivative. The compound is characterized by the presence of a ketone functional group at the third carbon of the hexadecanoate chain, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. Methyl 3-oxohexadecanoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. This compound can be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, flavoring agents, and fragrances. Additionally, its structural features may allow it to participate in reactions such as esterification and condensation, making it valuable in the field of organic chemistry and materials science. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
