CAS 623-65-4: Palmitic anhydride

Description: Palmitic anhydride, with the CAS number 623-65-4, is a chemical compound derived from palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid. It is characterized by its anhydride structure, which typically involves the removal of water from two carboxylic acid molecules, resulting in a cyclic or linear anhydride. This substance is generally a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is known for its fatty, waxy texture. Palmitic anhydride is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, including surfactants, emulsifiers, and other derivatives in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, it may serve as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of esters and amides. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
