15-Methylheptadecanoic acid methyl ester

Description:
15-Methylheptadecanoic acid methyl ester, also known as methyl 15-methylheptadecanoate, is a fatty acid methyl ester characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and branched structure. It features a methyl group at the 15th carbon of the heptadecanoic acid backbone, which contributes to its unique properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a relatively high boiling point, indicative of its long-chain fatty acid nature. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for fatty acid esters. The presence of the methyl ester functional group allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including transesterification and esterification. This compound is of interest in fields such as biochemistry and materials science, where it may be used as a model compound for studying lipid metabolism or as a potential biofuel. Its physical and chemical properties, such as viscosity and melting point, can vary based on the degree of branching and the length of the carbon chain.
