Octadecanoic acid,2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]-1-[[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]methyl]ethyl ester

Description:

Octadecanoic acid, 2-[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]-1-[[(1-oxotetradecyl)oxy]methyl]ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 93378-75-7, is a complex ester derived from octadecanoic acid (commonly known as stearic acid) and a tetradecyl chain. This compound features a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, which contributes to its lipophilic properties, making it soluble in organic solvents but less so in water. The presence of ester functional groups indicates that it can undergo hydrolysis, potentially releasing the fatty acid and alcohol components. Its structure suggests potential applications in various fields, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and as a surfactant or emulsifier due to its amphiphilic nature. The compound may exhibit characteristics typical of fatty acid esters, such as low volatility and stability under normal conditions, while its specific reactivity and interactions would depend on the surrounding environment and conditions. Overall, this substance is of interest for its potential utility in formulations requiring emulsification or stabilization of oil-water mixtures.
