Heptadecanamide

Description:
Heptadecanamide, also known as n-heptadecanamide or margaramide, is an organic compound classified as a fatty amide. It features a long hydrocarbon chain consisting of 17 carbon atoms, with an amide functional group (-C(O)NH2) at one end. This structure contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Heptadecanamide is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits a waxy texture. It has applications in various fields, including cosmetics, where it serves as an emollient, and in the production of surfactants and lubricants. Additionally, it may be used in research settings for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. The compound's stability and relatively high melting point are attributed to the strong intermolecular forces present due to its long carbon chain and amide group. Safety data indicates that, like many amides, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
