:Hexadecanoic acid, 2-(hexadecyloxy)-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester, (S)-
Description:
Hexadecanoic acid, 2-(hexadecyloxy)-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester, commonly known as a fatty acid ester, is a chemical compound characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. This compound features a hexadecyloxy group, indicating the presence of a hexadecyl chain attached to an ether linkage, and a hydroxymethyl group that introduces a polar functional group into the structure. The presence of the ester functional group suggests that it can undergo hydrolysis, making it relevant in various biochemical processes. Its stereochemistry is denoted by the (S)- configuration, indicating the specific spatial arrangement of its atoms, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. This compound is typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its amphiphilic nature. It may find applications in fields such as biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science, particularly in the development of surfactants, emulsifiers, or as a component in drug formulations.
