Hexadecanedioic acid

Description:

Hexadecanedioic acid, also known as palmitic acid or sebacic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C16H30O4. It features a long hydrocarbon chain, consisting of 16 carbon atoms, with two carboxylic acid functional groups (-COOH) at each end. This structure imparts both hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics, making it amphiphilic. Hexadecanedioic acid is a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in the production of polyamides, polyesters, and as a precursor in the synthesis of various chemicals. Additionally, it serves as a surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic formulations. The compound is known for its relatively low toxicity, but like many dicarboxylic acids, it can cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Its melting point and boiling point are influenced by its long carbon chain, contributing to its stability and utility in various industrial applications.

Hexadecanedioic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that can be formed by the oxidation of hexadecane. Hexadecanedioic acid has been shown to have a high redox potential and its metabolic rate increases in adipose tissue. In liver cells, it is converted to caproic acid, which can regulate the levels of camp. Hexadecanedioic acid also inhibits the enzyme activities of hepatic lipase and fatty acid synthase in rat liver cells. This compound has been used as a model system for studying biochemical reactions involving carboxylic acids.
