Tetradecanoic acid, 2-bromo-, methyl ester

Description:
Tetradecanoic acid, 2-bromo-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2-bromotetradecanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from tetradecanoic acid (a saturated fatty acid with a 14-carbon chain) and a bromine atom at the second carbon position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chain. The presence of the bromine atom introduces unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, particularly in organic chemistry for the preparation of more complex molecules. Its molecular structure contributes to its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, which are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the presence of the bromine substituent. Additionally, it may exhibit specific biological activities, although detailed studies on its toxicity and environmental impact are essential for safe handling and application. Overall, tetradecanoic acid, 2-bromo-, methyl ester serves as a valuable compound in both industrial and research settings.
