2-FLUOROPALMITIC ACID

Description:
2-Fluoropalmitic acid is a fluorinated fatty acid characterized by the presence of a fluorine atom at the second carbon position of the palmitic acid chain, which is a saturated fatty acid with a long hydrocarbon tail. Its molecular structure consists of a 16-carbon chain (C16) with a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at one end. The introduction of the fluorine atom can significantly influence the compound's physical and chemical properties, such as its melting point, solubility, and biological activity. Fluorinated fatty acids like 2-fluoropalmitic acid are of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, due to their potential applications in drug development, as surfactants, or in the study of lipid metabolism. The presence of the fluorine atom may also affect the compound's interactions with biological membranes and proteins. As with many fluorinated compounds, safety and environmental considerations are important, given the potential for persistence and bioaccumulation.
