:methyl heptacosanoate
Description:
Methyl heptacosanoate is an ester derived from heptacosanoic acid and methanol, characterized by its long carbon chain structure. It belongs to the class of fatty acid methyl esters, which are typically non-polar and hydrophobic due to their lengthy hydrocarbon chains. This compound is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a waxy texture. Methyl heptacosanoate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its molecular structure contributes to its relatively high boiling point and melting point compared to shorter-chain esters. This compound may be used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in cosmetics, or as a lubricant due to its fatty nature. Additionally, it may serve as a model compound in studies related to lipid chemistry and biochemistry. As with many esters, it may also exhibit characteristic fruity or floral odors, depending on its specific structure and the presence of other compounds.
