Description:2-Pentadecanone, with the CAS number 2345-28-0, is a ketone characterized by a long carbon chain, specifically containing 15 carbon atoms. It features a carbonyl group (C=O) located at the second carbon of the pentadecanone structure, which contributes to its chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a waxy texture and a distinctive odor, often described as fatty or waxy. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 2-Pentadecanone is used in various applications, including flavoring and fragrance industries, as well as in organic synthesis. Its relatively high molecular weight and long carbon chain influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, making it a subject of interest in studies related to lipid chemistry and biochemistry. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in various research contexts.
