:methyl 16-bromohexadecanoate
Description:
Methyl 16-bromohexadecanoate is an organic compound classified as a fatty acid ester. It features a long hydrocarbon chain, specifically a hexadecanoate (palmitate) backbone, which consists of 16 carbon atoms. The presence of a bromine atom at the 16th carbon position distinguishes it from other fatty acid esters. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature, and is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long alkyl chain. Methyl 16-bromohexadecanoate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It may be used in various applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis, in the preparation of surfactants, or in the study of lipid metabolism. The bromine substituent can also impart unique reactivity, making it useful in further chemical transformations. As with many brominated compounds, it is essential to handle it with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
