Heptadecanoic acid, 17-hydroxy-, methyl ester

Description:
Heptadecanoic acid, 17-hydroxy-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 17-hydroxyheptadecanoate, is a fatty acid methyl ester derived from heptadecanoic acid, which is a saturated fatty acid with a long carbon chain. This compound features a hydroxyl group at the 17th carbon position, contributing to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature, and is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chain. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some degree of polarity, which can influence its solubility in various solvents. Heptadecanoic acid derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in biochemistry, cosmetics, and as surfactants. The compound may also exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmacological research. Its CAS number, 94036-00-7, is a unique identifier that facilitates the tracking and study of this specific chemical in scientific literature and databases.
