CAS 55682-92-3
:Methyl octacosanoate
Description:
Methyl octacosanoate, with the CAS number 55682-92-3, is an ester derived from octacosanoic acid and methanol. It is a long-chain fatty acid methyl ester, characterized by its hydrophobic nature and high molecular weight. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. Methyl octacosanoate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. It has a relatively high melting point and boiling point, indicative of its long carbon chain, which contributes to its waxy texture. This substance is often studied for its potential applications in biodiesel production, as well as in cosmetics and food industries due to its emollient properties. Additionally, it may serve as a model compound in various chemical studies related to lipid chemistry and biochemistry. Its stability and low reactivity make it suitable for various formulations, although specific handling and safety measures should be observed due to its chemical nature.
