7-Hexadecanone, 11,15-dimethyl-

Description:

7-Hexadecanone, 11,15-dimethyl- is a ketone characterized by its long carbon chain and specific branching. It features a total of 16 carbon atoms, with a ketone functional group located at the seventh carbon position. The presence of two methyl groups at the 11th and 15th positions contributes to its unique structure and potentially influences its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and may exhibit a waxy or oily texture. It is likely to be insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for long-chain fatty compounds. The compound may have applications in various fields, including fragrance formulation, as a flavoring agent, or in organic synthesis. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the ketone group, making it a subject of interest in both industrial and research contexts. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
