Hexadecanoic acid, 2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]-1,3-propanediyl ester

Description:

Hexadecanoic acid, 2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]-1,3-propanediyl ester, also known as a type of fatty acid ester, is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. This compound features a hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid) moiety, indicating it has a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid structure. The presence of the 1-oxotetradecyl group suggests that it contains a 14-carbon chain with a carbonyl functional group, enhancing its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. As an ester, it is likely to exhibit lower volatility compared to its acid counterparts and may have applications in the formulation of surfactants, emulsifiers, or as a lubricant. The molecular structure implies that it may have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic characteristics, making it suitable for use in formulations that require stabilization of oil-water mixtures. Additionally, its properties can be influenced by factors such as temperature and pH, which may affect its solubility and reactivity in different environments.
