Tetradecanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-13-methyl-

Description:

Tetradecanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-13-methyl-, also known as 3-hydroxy-13-methyl-tetradecanoic acid, is a fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a hydroxyl group and a methyl group substituent. This compound features a 14-carbon backbone, typical of fatty acids, and the presence of the hydroxyl group at the third carbon position contributes to its classification as a hydroxy fatty acid. The methyl group at the 13th carbon adds to its structural complexity and can influence its physical and chemical properties, such as solubility and melting point. Generally, fatty acids like this one are known for their roles in biological systems, including energy storage and membrane structure. They can also exhibit surfactant properties and may be involved in various biochemical pathways. The specific characteristics, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, can vary based on the molecular structure and the presence of functional groups.
