21-bromohenicosanoic acid

Description:
21-Bromohenicosanoic acid, identified by its CAS number 855953-37-6, is a long-chain fatty acid derivative characterized by the presence of a bromine atom at the 21st carbon position of the heicosanoic acid backbone. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with long-chain fatty acids, such as being hydrophobic and having a relatively high melting point compared to shorter-chain fatty acids. The bromine substitution can influence its reactivity, solubility, and biological activity, potentially making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis or in the development of pharmaceuticals. The presence of the bromine atom may also impart unique characteristics, such as increased lipophilicity or altered interaction with biological membranes. As with many halogenated compounds, safety considerations regarding toxicity and environmental impact are essential when handling or utilizing this substance. Overall, 21-bromohenicosanoic acid represents a specialized compound within the broader category of fatty acids, with specific applications driven by its structural features.
