Description

Hexadecyl propionate is a fatty acid that belongs to the group of aliphatic hydrocarbons. It is an important chemical for the production of biodiesel, which is a renewable fuel. Hexadecyl propionate has been shown to be a substrate for film formation and can be used as a component in chemical stability studies. The hexadecyl propionate molecule consists of a chain of 16 carbon atoms with three methyl groups on each end. These groups are responsible for the inhibition effect on mammalian cells. A hexadecane molecule also has two free carbons at one end and six carbons at the other end, which are substituted with an -OH group. This compound is also found in biodiesel fuel, where it acts as an amide and phase transition temperature stabilizer. The hexadecyl propionate molecule has an acidic ph and is basophilic, making it useful for leukemia research.
