:Hexadecanoic acid, 13-(acetyloxy)-, methyl ester
Description:
Hexadecanoic acid, 13-(acetyloxy)-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 13-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, which can enhance 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 chemical compounds. The molecular structure indicates that it may exhibit biological activity, potentially influencing its use in pharmaceuticals or as a surfactant. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
