:15-Methylhexadecanoic acid
Description:
15-Methylhexadecanoic acid, also known as 15-methylpalmitic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain and a methyl group at the 15th carbon position. This compound has a molecular formula of C17H34O2 and features a carboxylic acid functional group, which imparts typical acid characteristics such as the ability to donate protons in solution. It is a solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the methyl branch influences its melting point and physical properties compared to its straight-chain counterparts. This fatty acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, due to its potential applications in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and as a building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may be found in certain natural fats and oils, contributing to the complexity of lipid profiles in biological systems.
