:3-Octadecanone
Description:
3-Octadecanone, also known as 3-keto-octadecane, is a long-chain aliphatic ketone characterized by its molecular formula C18H36O. This compound features a ketone functional group located at the third carbon of the octadecane chain, which contributes to its chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a waxy texture and a faint odor. 3-Octadecanone is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chain. It is primarily used in the fragrance industry and as a flavoring agent, as well as in various chemical syntheses. The compound exhibits typical ketone reactivity, including nucleophilic addition and oxidation reactions. Additionally, it may have applications in the production of surfactants and emulsifiers. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Overall, 3-octadecanone is a versatile compound with applications in both industrial and consumer products.

3-Octadecanone
CAS:<p>3-Octadecanone is a fatty acid that can be found in the seed oils of Cochlospermaceae. 3-Octadecanone has been shown to inhibit the growth of colorectal carcinoma cells and also has anti-inflammatory properties. It is able to bind to pyridoxal phosphate, which is required for the synthesis of bioactive molecules such as fatty acids and prostaglandins. 3-Octadecanone has also demonstrated antimalarial activity against erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria, and also inhibits cancer cell proliferation in vitro. This compound is an important source of bioactive molecules due to its functional groups and fatty acid content.</p>Formula:C18H36OPurity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:268.48 g/mol
