methyl hexacosanoate

Description:
Methyl hexacosanoate, with the CAS number 5802-82-4, is an ester derived from hexacosanoic acid (a long-chain fatty acid) and methanol. It is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties and influences its physical state at room temperature. Typically, methyl hexacosanoate appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. It has a relatively high molecular weight and exhibits low solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. This compound is often studied for its potential applications in the fields of biochemistry and materials science, particularly in the formulation of surfactants, lubricants, and as a potential biofuel. Additionally, due to its long-chain structure, it may exhibit unique properties such as high viscosity and stability under various conditions. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.
