Hexadecyl carbonochloridate

Description:
Hexadecyl carbonochloridate, with the CAS number 26272-90-2, is an organic compound characterized by its long-chain fatty acid structure. It is an ester formed from hexadecanol and phosgene, featuring a hexadecyl group (a 16-carbon alkyl chain) attached to a carbonochloridate functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in the presence of nucleophiles, due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon in the carbonochloridate group. Hexadecyl carbonochloridate is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other chemical intermediates. Its hydrophobic hexadecyl chain imparts surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. However, it should be handled with care due to its potential toxicity and reactivity, particularly with water, which can lead to the release of hydrochloric acid. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this compound.
