14-methylhexadecanoic acid methyl ester

Description:

14-Methylhexadecanoic acid methyl ester, also known as methyl 14-methylhexadecanoate, is an ester derived from the fatty acid 14-methylhexadecanoic acid. This compound features a long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a relatively high boiling point due to its long carbon chain. The presence of the methyl ester functional group imparts certain properties, such as increased volatility compared to its acid counterpart. This compound is likely to be soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water, reflecting its lipophilic nature. It may be used in various applications, including as a surfactant, in biodiesel production, or as a flavoring agent in food products. Additionally, its structure suggests potential uses in the synthesis of other chemical compounds or as a precursor in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

14-methyl Palmitic Acid methyl ester

CAS: 2490-49-5

14-Methyl palmitic acid methyl ester is a methylated fatty acid methyl ester identified in A. indica leaf extract, S. alboflavus TD-1, and as a less prominent constituent in biodiesel from C. sorokiniana microalgae. It acts as a volatile agent emanating from maize, impeding the growth of F. verticillioides in a dose-responsive manner. Additionally, this compound is utilized as a reference standard for quantifying 14-methyl palmitic acid in diverse foods via GC-MS. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1614]
