CAS 2724-59-6
:17-methylstearic acid
Description:
17-Methylstearic acid, with the CAS number 2724-59-6, is a branched-chain fatty acid that is a derivative of stearic acid. It features a methyl group attached to the 17th carbon of the stearic acid chain, which consists of 18 carbon atoms and is saturated. This structural modification influences its physical and chemical properties, such as melting point and solubility. Typically, 17-methylstearic acid is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is used in various applications, including as a surfactant, emulsifier, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The presence of the methyl group can also affect its biological activity and interactions with other molecules. As with many fatty acids, it may exhibit varying degrees of toxicity and environmental impact, necessitating careful handling and consideration in industrial applications. Overall, 17-methylstearic acid is an important compound in organic chemistry and materials science.
