1-2-dipalmitoyl-3-O-benzyl-rac-glycerol

Description:

1,2-Dipalmitoyl-3-O-benzyl-rac-glycerol is a synthetic glycerol derivative characterized by its unique structure, which includes two palmitoyl fatty acid chains and a benzyl group attached to the glycerol backbone. This compound is typically used in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in drug delivery systems and as a surfactant due to its amphiphilic nature. The presence of the palmitoyl groups contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, while the benzyl group enhances its solubility in organic solvents. Additionally, the racemic nature of the glycerol moiety indicates that it exists as a mixture of enantiomers, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. The compound's stability and compatibility with various formulations make it a valuable ingredient in cosmetic and therapeutic products. Its CAS number, 69176-47-2, allows for precise identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks. Overall, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-O-benzyl-rac-glycerol is notable for its functional versatility and potential applications in various fields of science and industry.
