:Hexadecanoic acid, 9-(acetyloxy)-, methyl ester
Description:
Hexadecanoic acid, 9-(acetyloxy)-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 9-acetoxyhexadecanoate, is an ester derived from hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid) and acetic acid. This compound features a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its lipophilic properties, making it soluble in organic solvents but less soluble in water. The presence of the acetoxy group introduces a polar functional group, enhancing its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. Typically, esters like this one are characterized by their pleasant, fruity odors and are often used in flavoring and fragrance industries. Additionally, they may serve as intermediates in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. The compound's stability and reactivity can be influenced by factors such as temperature and pH, and it may undergo hydrolysis under certain conditions, reverting to its constituent acids. Overall, hexadecanoic acid, 9-(acetyloxy)-, methyl ester exemplifies the diverse functionalities of fatty acid derivatives in chemical applications.
