Anteisoheptadecanoic acid

Description:
Anteisoheptadecanoic acid, also known as 2-methylhexadecanoic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its unique structure, which includes a methyl group on the second carbon of a 17-carbon chain. This structural feature distinguishes it from its straight-chain counterparts. Anteisoheptadecanoic acid is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It has a relatively high melting point compared to many other fatty acids due to its branched structure, which affects its packing and intermolecular interactions. This fatty acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, as it can influence the properties of lipids and is involved in the synthesis of certain bioactive compounds. Additionally, it may be utilized in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and other industrial applications. Its unique properties make it a subject of study in understanding fatty acid metabolism and its implications in health and nutrition.
