Octadecanoic acid, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]ethylester

Description:

Octadecanoic acid, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 162230-77-5, is an ester derived from octadecanoic acid (commonly known as stearic acid) and a specific hydroxymethylated derivative of a tetradecanoyl group. This compound features a long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group introduces a polar functional group, which can enhance its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. The ester functional group indicates that it can undergo hydrolysis, transesterification, and other reactions typical of esters. This compound may be of interest in fields such as biochemistry, materials science, and pharmaceuticals, where it could serve as a surfactant, emulsifier, or in drug delivery systems. Its specific properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, would depend on the molecular structure and the arrangement of its functional groups.
