Lignoceric acid ethyl ester, with the CAS number 24634-95-5, is an ester derived from lignoceric acid, a long-chain saturated fatty acid. This compound typically features a long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. Lignoceric acid itself is known for its presence in various natural fats and waxes. As an ethyl ester, it is formed by the reaction of lignoceric acid with ethanol, resulting in a compound that may exhibit lower melting and boiling points compared to its acid counterpart. Lignoceric acid ethyl ester is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid, with a waxy texture, and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Its applications may include use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and as a potential lubricant or surfactant due to its fatty acid structure. Additionally, it may serve as a model compound in studies related to lipid metabolism and fatty acid behavior in biological systems.
