:3-Hexadecynoic acid, methyl ester
Description:
3-Hexadecynoic acid, methyl ester, is a fatty acid derivative characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a terminal alkyne functional group. This compound features a 16-carbon chain with a triple bond located at the third carbon from the carboxyl end, which contributes to its unique reactivity and properties. As a methyl ester, it is formed by the esterification of 3-hexadecynoic acid with methanol, resulting in a compound that is typically less polar than its acid counterpart. This substance is likely to be a viscous liquid at room temperature, exhibiting low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the alkyne group may impart specific chemical reactivity, making it useful in organic synthesis and materials science. Additionally, compounds like 3-hexadecynoic acid, methyl ester, can be of interest in the study of lipid metabolism and may have applications in the development of biofuels or surfactants. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
