Methyl 10-oxooctadecanoate

Description:
Methyl 10-oxooctadecanoate, with the CAS number 870-10-0, is an ester derived from the fatty acid octadecanoic acid (commonly known as stearic acid) and methanol. This compound features a ketone functional group at the 10th carbon position of the octadecanoic chain, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. Methyl 10-oxooctadecanoate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and potentially in the formulation of surfactants or emulsifiers. The presence of the ketone group may also impart specific reactivity, making it useful in chemical transformations. As with many esters, it may exhibit low toxicity, but safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines. Overall, this compound exemplifies the diverse chemistry of fatty acid derivatives.
