:Hexadecanoic acid, 15-(acetyloxy)-, methyl ester
Description:
Hexadecanoic acid, 15-(acetyloxy)-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 15-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 so 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 used in various fields, including food flavoring, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, due to their pleasant aromas and potential biological activities. The compound may exhibit characteristics such as moderate volatility and stability under standard conditions, but it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or strong acids/bases. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken. Overall, its unique structure and properties make it a compound of interest in both industrial and research applications.
