Product Information

• Name: DL-α-Methylpalmitic acid methyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: DL-alpha-Methylpalmitic acid methyl ester is a geometric isomer of the fatty acid alpha-methylpalmitic acid. It is used as a research chemical and has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on chlorophytum plants. This compound also has health effects on humans, such as lipid profiles and biochemical parameters, which are dependent on the degree of unsaturation. DL-alpha-Methylpalmitic acid methyl ester can be synthesized from fatty acids by ethylating with alcohols or ethyl esters. The synthesis of this compound can be achieved by using a chromatographic method that separates the desired product from other molecules in a mixture.
