17-Methylstearic acid methyl ester, with the CAS number 55124-97-5, is an ester derived from the methyl ester of 17-methylstearic acid. This compound features a long hydrocarbon chain, characteristic of fatty acids, which contributes to its hydrophobic nature. It typically exhibits properties associated with fatty acid esters, such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. The presence of the methyl group at the 17th carbon position influences its physical and chemical properties, including its melting and boiling points, which are generally higher than those of non-methylated fatty acids. This compound is likely to be soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water due to its long hydrophobic tail. It may be used in various applications, including as a surfactant, lubricant, or in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. As with many fatty acid derivatives, it may also exhibit low toxicity, but specific safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines.

17-methyl Stearic acid methyl ester is a methylated fatty acid methyl ester that has been found in mutton tallow. It is a volatile component of roasted tigernut (
C. esculentus
) oil. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1603]
