Methyl pentacosanoate

Description:
Methyl pentacosanoate, with the CAS number 55373-89-2, is an ester derived from pentacosanoic acid and methanol. This compound belongs to the class of fatty acid methyl esters, which are characterized by their long hydrocarbon chains. Methyl pentacosanoate typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a waxy texture and a faint odor. It is insoluble in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. The compound is known for its relatively high boiling point and low volatility, making it stable under various conditions. Methyl pentacosanoate is often studied for its potential applications in biodiesel production, as well as in the formulation of lubricants and surfactants. Additionally, it may exhibit properties that are beneficial in the cosmetic and food industries. As with many fatty acid esters, it is important to handle it with care, as it may cause skin irritation upon contact.
