Product Information

• Name: 16-Mercapto-1-hexadecanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 16-Mercapto-1-hexadecanol is a lipid. It is a component of human serum, and has been shown to be generated in the liver by hydrolysis of 16-hydroxylated cholesterol. 16-Mercapto-1-hexadecanol is also an activating agent for monoclonal antibodies that are used as therapeutic agents in cancer treatment. The activation energy for this process is approximately -5 kcal/mol. This compound has been used to study the thermodynamic properties of ferrocene. 16-Mercapto-1-hexadecanol can be synthesized from the reaction of ferrocene with hexadecanoic acid and hydrogen peroxide in water. The structural formula for this compound has been determined using gel chromatography and it contains two hydrogen bonds within its structure. Analytical chemistry techniques such as kinetic data and kinetic studies have been performed on this compound, which can be immobilized on a monolayer or x ray
