:Hexadecanoic-5,5,6,6-d4acid (9CI)
Description:
Hexadecanoic-5,5,6,6-d4 acid, also known as palmitic acid-d4, is a deuterated form of hexadecanoic acid, a saturated fatty acid with a long carbon chain. It consists of 16 carbon atoms and is characterized by its straight-chain structure, featuring a carboxylic acid functional group at one end. The deuteration at positions 5 and 6 indicates that these hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, which can be useful in various analytical applications, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Hexadecanoic acid is typically solid at room temperature and has a waxy texture, with a melting point that varies based on its purity and the presence of other substances. It is commonly found in animal and plant fats and oils and is used in the production of soaps, cosmetics, and food products. The presence of deuterium allows for enhanced tracking and analysis in biochemical studies, making it valuable in research involving lipid metabolism and fatty acid pathways.

CAS:Controlled Product<p>Applications Palmitic Acid-d4 is the isotope labelled analog of Palmitic Acid (P144500); a common fatty acid found in plants and animals. The body converts excess carbohydrates into Palmitic Acid, thus Palmitic Acid is the first fatty acid produced during fatty acid synthesis as well as a precursor for longer fatty acids.<br>References Jeffcoat, R. et al.: Lipids, 12, 469 (1977); Hudgins, L. et al.: J.
