2-chloroethyl hexadecanoate

Description:
2-Chloroethyl hexadecanoate, with the CAS number 929-16-8, is an ester derived from hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid) and 2-chloroethanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is characterized by its fatty acid chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. The presence of the chloroethyl group introduces reactivity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of surfactants. Its molecular structure includes a long hydrocarbon chain, which enhances its lipophilicity, while the chloroethyl moiety can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. 2-Chloroethyl hexadecanoate is generally stable under standard conditions but should be handled with care due to the potential reactivity of the chloro group. Safety data sheets should be consulted for specific handling and storage guidelines, as well as potential health hazards associated with exposure. Overall, this compound exemplifies the characteristics of fatty acid esters with additional functional groups that expand its utility in chemical processes.
