Hexadecanoic acid, 2-(acetyloxy)-, 4-nitrophenyl ester, (R)-

Description:

Hexadecanoic acid, 2-(acetyloxy)-, 4-nitrophenyl ester, (R)-, commonly known as a derivative of palmitic acid, is an ester formed from hexadecanoic acid and 4-nitrophenol, with an acetyl group attached. This compound typically exhibits characteristics common to fatty acid esters, such as being a solid or semi-solid at room temperature, depending on its specific structure and purity. It is likely to be hydrophobic due to its long hydrocarbon chain, which influences its solubility in organic solvents rather than water. The presence of the nitrophenyl group may impart unique electronic properties, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis or in the development of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the (R)- configuration indicates a specific stereochemistry, which can affect the compound's biological activity and interactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential toxicity, as with any chemical substance.
