2-Pentadecanone,6,10,14-trimethyl-, (6R,10R)-

Description:

2-Pentadecanone, 6,10,14-trimethyl-, (6R,10R)-, with CAS number 16825-16-4, is a ketone characterized by a long carbon chain and specific stereochemistry. It features a pentadecanone backbone, indicating it has a total of 15 carbon atoms, with a ketone functional group at the second carbon. The presence of three methyl groups at the 6th, 10th, and 14th positions contributes to its branched structure, influencing its physical and chemical properties. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow and may exhibit a waxy texture. It is likely to be insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature, while being soluble in organic solvents. The stereochemistry, denoted by (6R,10R), suggests specific spatial arrangements of the substituents, which can affect its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Such compounds are often studied for their potential applications in fragrance, flavoring, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Additionally, their structural characteristics may confer unique properties that are of interest in various fields, including materials science and biochemistry.
