Description:14-Heptacosanone, with the CAS number 542-50-7, is a long-chain aliphatic ketone characterized by its 27-carbon backbone and a carbonyl group located at the 14th carbon position. This compound is part of the family of fatty ketones and is typically found in various natural sources, including certain plant waxes and animal fats. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature, exhibiting a waxy texture. The substance is largely insoluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 14-Heptacosanone has a relatively high melting point and boiling point, which is typical for long-chain fatty compounds. Its applications may include use in fragrances, flavoring agents, and as a potential pheromone in insect communication. Additionally, it may serve as a model compound for studying the properties of long-chain ketones in various chemical and biological contexts.
