Methyl 13-methyltetradecanoate

Description:
Methyl 13-methyltetradecanoate, with the CAS number 5129-59-9, is an ester derived from the reaction of methanol and 13-methyltetradecanoic acid. This compound belongs to the class of fatty acid methyl esters and is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, fatty odor. The molecular structure features a methyl group attached to the carboxylate end of the tetradecanoate chain, which influences its physical and chemical properties, such as solubility and boiling point. Methyl 13-methyltetradecanoate is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in cosmetics, and in the production of biodiesel. Its stability and relatively low reactivity under standard conditions make it suitable for use in formulations requiring long shelf life. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
