Description

1,2-Epoxytetradecane is a fatty acid that is structurally similar to inulin. It has been shown to be an activating agent for the epoxidation of olefins with homogeneous catalysts. Epoxytetradecane also can react with chloride ions to form epoxide esters. 1,2-Epoxytetradecane reacts with potassium ion to form a fluorescent compound. The hydrophobic effect may be responsible for the immobilization of fatty acids on surfaces. Epoxytetradecane has been studied as a potential treatment for epithelial cancers and fetal bovine serum (FBS) has been used as a model for human tissue in biological studies of epoxytetradecane effects.
