Información del producto
7-Fluorohexadecanoic acid is a fatty acid that is synthesized by a sequence of reactions, including the fluorination of hexadecanoic acid and the benzyl esterification of palmitic acid. The synthesis begins with the introduction of a fluoride atom to one end of the carbon chain. This molecule is then reacted with methanesulfonic anhydride in the presence of zinc chloride to produce 7-fluorohexadecanoic acid. The final step includes hydrolysis, which breaks down 7-fluorohexadecanoic acid into palmitic and hexadecanoic acids.
