:2-Ethyltetradecanoic acid
Description:
2-Ethyltetradecanoic acid, also known as 2-ethyl-14-methylpentadecanoic acid, is a long-chain fatty acid characterized by its aliphatic hydrocarbon chain and a carboxylic acid functional group. With a molecular formula typically represented as C16H32O2, it features a straight-chain structure with a branched ethyl group at the second carbon position. This compound is generally a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid at room temperature, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for fatty acids. 2-Ethyltetradecanoic acid is used in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, and in the formulation of personal care products. Its unique structure contributes to its properties, such as melting point and boiling point, which are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the presence of branching. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in biochemical research and industrial applications.
