Hentriacontanoic acid

Description:

Hentriacontanoic acid, also known as tritriacontanoic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid with the molecular formula C31H62O2. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 31 carbon atoms and a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at one end. This compound is typically found in certain natural fats and oils, contributing to their physical properties. Hentriacontanoic acid is solid at room temperature and exhibits low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature, while being more soluble in organic solvents. Its high molecular weight and long carbon chain result in a high melting point compared to shorter-chain fatty acids. This substance is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, where it may be studied for its potential applications in biodiesel production, surfactants, and as a model compound in lipid research. Additionally, its unique properties make it a candidate for use in the development of specialty chemicals and polymers.
