:N-heptylformamide
Description:
N-heptylformamide is an organic compound characterized by its amide functional group, where a heptyl chain is attached to the nitrogen atom. It has a molecular formula that reflects the presence of a seven-carbon alkyl chain (heptyl) linked to a formamide group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point, indicative of its relatively low volatility compared to smaller amides. N-heptylformamide is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic heptyl chain. It is primarily used in chemical synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various organic compounds. The presence of the heptyl group contributes to its unique properties, such as its viscosity and surface tension, which can be relevant in applications involving surfactants or lubricants. Additionally, like many amides, N-heptylformamide may exhibit hydrogen bonding capabilities, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

N-Heptylformamide
CAS:<p>N-Heptylformamide is a growth factor and an energy metabolism regulator that has been shown to affect platelet aggregation and human serum. It has been studied as a potential treatment for carcinoma cell lines in vitro assays. This compound also has neurotrophic effects, meaning it stimulates the growth and differentiation of nerve cells. N-Heptylformamide may be useful as a treatment for melanoma, since it induces the production of melanoma antigen by polymerase chain reaction. In vitro assays have shown that N-heptylformamide binds to protein kinase C (PKC) and inhibits PKC activity by preventing the phosphorylation of proteins.</p>Formula:C8H17NOPurity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:143.23 g/mol
