(R)-3-HYDROXYTETRADECONOIC ACID, METHYL ESTER - Introduction

Methyl R-(3)-hydroxymyristate is an organic compound with the chemical formula C15H30O3 and a molecular weight of 258.40g/mol. It is the product of the methyl esterification of myristyl alcohol (hydroxymyristic acid).

R-(3)-methyl hydroxymyristate is a colorless to light yellow liquid with low volatility at room temperature and pressure. It has low solubility and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether and chloroform.

The compound is mainly used in the fragrance industry and is commonly used in the preparation of fragrances in perfumes, fragrances and cosmetics. It has a natural nutmeg scent and is often used to provide a warm, sweet and aromatic aroma.

The method for producing methyl R-(3)-hydroxymyristate is obtained by reacting hydroxymyristic acid with methanol and heating under acidic conditions. This process typically requires the use of an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid to facilitate the reaction.

Regarding safety information, R-(3)-hydroxymyristate methyl ester needs to be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, and away from fire and flammable materials. Appropriate personal protective equipment, such as lab gloves and goggles, should be worn during operation. In case of accidental contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If swallowed or inhaled to cause discomfort, should promptly seek medical attention. Please read the product description and safety data sheet carefully before use.
