Description

Palmitoyl chloride is a chemical compound that has the chemical formula CH3(CH2)16COCl. It is an ester of palmitic acid and chloroform. Palmitoyl chloride has a phase transition temperature of 39°C, giving it high resistance to heat. It can be used as a model system for studying the interactions between hydroxyl groups and chloride ions in water. This compound also has high water permeability and water vapor permeability, making it useful in the treatment of infectious diseases such as malaria. Palmitoyl chloride can be synthesized by reacting sodium carbonate with trifluoroacetic acid, which generates sodium trifluoroacetate. The sodium trifluoroacetate can react with 4-chlorobutyl alcohol to form 4-chlorobutylchloroformate, which reacts with palmitic acid to form palmitoyl chloride.
