:docosanoyl chloride
Description:
Docosanoyl chloride, also known as docosyl chloride, is a long-chain fatty acyl chloride derived from docosanoic acid, which is a saturated fatty acid with a 22-carbon chain. Its chemical formula is C22H45ClO, and it features a carbon chain terminated by a chlorine atom, making it a reactive acyl chloride. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, characteristic of acyl chlorides. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and chloroform but is generally insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Docosanoyl chloride is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of esters, amides, and other derivatives of fatty acids. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be corrosive and may react violently with water, releasing hydrochloric acid. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.

Docosanoyl chloride
CAS:Docosanoyl chloride is an amide that reacts with a carbonyl group to form an ester. It is a monocarboxylic acid and can be used as an analytical reagent for the determination of carboxylic acids, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butanoic acid, and pentanoic acid. Docosanoyl chloride also has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer cells in culture. The mechanism of action is not clear, but may involve inhibition of the fatty acid synthase enzyme pathway. Docosanoyl chloride is also known to react with creatine or fatty acids to form amido or acid conjugates respectively.
