ANTEISO-PENTADECANOIC ACID - Introduction

12-methyltradecanoic ACID, also known as 12-methyltradecanoic ACID, is an organic compound. The following is a description of its nature, use, formulation and safety information:

Nature:
12-methyltradecanoic ACID is a white to slightly yellow solid with a special aroma. Its chemical formula is C15H30O2 and its molecular weight is 242.4g/mol. It has a melting point of about 39-41 ° C. And a boiling point of about 310-312 ° C. It is a compound that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.

Use:
12-methyltradecanoic ACID has antibacterial and antiseptic properties, and has a wide range of applications in many fields. It is commonly used in dyes, flavors, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and other fields. In addition, it is also used as a surfactant, solvent and fuel additive.

Preparation Method:
The preparation of 12-METHYLTETRADECANOIC ACID can be achieved by reacting N-Tetradecanoic ACID with methyl iodide. Under appropriate reaction conditions, one of the carboxylic ACID groups in n-Tetradecanoic ACID reacts with methyl iodide to give 12-METHYLTETRADECANOIC ACID according to the transesterification reaction.

Safety Information:
12-methyltradecanoic ACID is generally safe under proper use and storage. However, it can be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. Therefore, during operation, it is recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles and protective masks. If contact occurs, flush the affected area with clean water and seek medical attention immediately. Detailed safety information can be found in the relevant chemical safety data sheets (MSDS).
