16-Methyloctadecanoic acid

Description:
16-Methyloctadecanoic acid, also known as 16-methyl stearic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid characterized by a straight-chain structure with a methyl group at the 16th carbon position. Its molecular formula is C19H38O2, indicating it contains 19 carbon atoms and two oxygen atoms. This compound is typically found in certain natural fats and oils, contributing to their unique properties. It is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the methyl group influences its melting point and physical properties compared to other fatty acids. 16-Methyloctadecanoic acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, due to its potential applications in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and other industrial products. Additionally, it may play a role in biological processes, particularly in the metabolism of fatty acids. As with many fatty acids, it is important to handle it with care, considering its potential effects on health and the environment.
