nonadecanoic acid ethyl ester

Description:
Nonadecanoic acid ethyl ester, also known as ethyl nonadecanoate, is an ester derived from nonadecanoic acid and ethanol. It is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 19 carbon atoms, which contributes to its hydrophobic nature and influences its physical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its non-polar characteristics. Nonadecanoic acid ethyl ester has applications in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its pleasant aroma, and it may also be used in the formulation of cosmetics and personal care products. Additionally, it can serve as a potential biofuel or lubricant due to its fatty acid structure. The compound's stability and low volatility make it suitable for various industrial applications. As with many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its constituent acid and alcohol.
