Triacontanoic acid

Description:

Triacontanoic acid, also known as triacontanoate or behenic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C30H60O2. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 30 carbon atoms and a carboxylic acid functional group at one end. This compound is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. Triacontanoic acid is known for its high melting point, which is indicative of its long carbon chain and the presence of strong van der Waals forces between molecules. It is commonly found in various natural sources, including certain plant waxes and animal fats. In industrial applications, triacontanoic acid is utilized in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as a component in cosmetics and personal care products. Its properties make it valuable in formulations requiring emulsification and stabilization.
