11-methyllauric acid methyl ester

Description:
11-Methyllauric acid methyl ester, with the CAS number 5129-57-7, is an ester derived from lauric acid, which is a medium-chain fatty acid. This compound features a methyl group at the 11th carbon position of the lauric acid chain, influencing its physical and chemical properties. Typically, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. The presence of the methyl ester functional group suggests that it is soluble in organic solvents but may have limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in various fields, including cosmetics, food additives, and as a surfactant. Additionally, the compound may exhibit properties such as emulsification and foaming, making it useful in formulations requiring stability and texture. As with many fatty acid esters, it is expected to have low toxicity, but safety data should be consulted for specific handling and usage guidelines. Overall, 11-methyllauric acid methyl ester represents a versatile chemical with applications in both industrial and consumer products.
