Hexadecanoic acid,1,2,3-propanetriyl-1,1,2,3,3-d5 ester (9CI)

Description:

Hexadecanoic acid, 1,2,3-propanetriyl-1,1,2,3,3-d5 ester, commonly known as a triglyceride, is a chemical compound characterized by its long-chain fatty acid structure. It consists of a glycerol backbone esterified with hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid), which is a saturated fatty acid with a 16-carbon chain. The presence of deuterium (d5) indicates that five hydrogen atoms in the molecule are replaced with deuterium isotopes, which can be useful for tracing and analytical purposes in research. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature due to its high molecular weight and saturated nature, contributing to its stability and resistance to oxidation. It is commonly found in various natural fats and oils, playing a significant role in biological systems as an energy storage molecule. Additionally, its unique isotopic labeling allows for specific applications in metabolic studies and tracer experiments in biochemistry. Overall, this compound exemplifies the structural complexity and functional diversity of lipids in biological systems.
