Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetradecyl ester

Description:
Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, tetradecyl ester, also known as 2-methylpropanoic acid tetradecyl ester, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is formed from the reaction of propanoic acid and tetradecanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is hydrophobic, meaning it is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which makes it useful in various applications, including as a surfactant or emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care products. The presence of a long tetradecyl chain contributes to its lipophilic properties, enhancing its ability to interact with lipid membranes. Additionally, it may exhibit low volatility and stability under standard conditions, making it suitable for formulations requiring long-lasting effects. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper usage and minimize risks.
