CAS 22393-84-6: 9-Hexadecenoic acid,octadecyl ester, (9Z)-

Description:9-Hexadecenoic acid, octadecyl ester, commonly referred to by its CAS number 22393-84-6, is an ester derived from the reaction of 9-hexadecenoic acid and octadecanol. This compound features a long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of a double bond in the hexadecenoic acid portion indicates that it is an unsaturated fatty acid, specifically in the cis configuration (9Z), which can influence its physical properties, such as melting point and viscosity. Esters like this one are often used in various applications, including as surfactants, emulsifiers, and in the formulation of cosmetics and personal care products due to their ability to enhance texture and stability. Additionally, the long carbon chains can impart beneficial properties such as improved lubrication and moisture retention. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to ensure proper handling and usage.
