Methyl 12-methyltetradecanoate

Description:
Methyl 12-methyltetradecanoate, with the CAS number 5129-66-8, is an ester derived from the fatty acid 12-methyltetradecanoic acid and methanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is part of the class of methyl esters, which are known for their applications in various fields, including food flavoring, cosmetics, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The molecular structure features a long hydrocarbon chain, contributing to its hydrophobic nature and relatively low solubility in water. However, it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Methyl 12-methyltetradecanoate is also characterized by its stability under normal conditions, although it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point and density, are influenced by the length of the carbon chain and the presence of functional groups. Overall, this compound is of interest in both industrial applications and research contexts.
