2-Methylpentadecanoic acid

Description:

2-Methylpentadecanoic acid, also known as 2-methyl-15-pentadecanoic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid characterized by a straight-chain structure with a methyl group located at the second carbon position. Its molecular formula is C16H32O2, indicating it contains 16 carbon atoms and two oxygen atoms. This fatty acid is typically found in certain natural fats and oils, contributing to their unique properties. It is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the methyl group influences its melting point and physical properties, making it distinct from other fatty acids. 2-Methylpentadecanoic acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and nutrition, due to its potential effects on lipid metabolism and its role in the composition of certain dietary fats. Additionally, it may have applications in the synthesis of surfactants and other chemical products. As with many fatty acids, it is important to handle it with care, following appropriate safety guidelines.
