Juniperic acid - Introduction

16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid(16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid) is a hydroxy fatty acid with the chemical formula C16H32O3. The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:

Nature:
16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is a colorless to light yellow solid with a special hydroxyl functional group. It is a fatty acid, has a certain solubility, soluble in non-polar solvents, such as chloroform and dichloromethane, insoluble in water.

Use:
16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid has a variety of applications in the chemical field. It is useful as an intermediate in organic synthesis, for example for the preparation of biologically active compounds. In addition, it can be used as a raw material for certain surfactants, hydroxyl-containing polymers and lubricants.

Preparation Method:
16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is usually prepared by chemical synthesis. A common preparation method is the reaction of hexadecanoic acid with hydrogen peroxide, in the presence of a suitable catalyst, under certain reaction conditions to obtain the target product.

Safety Information:
Under correct handling and storage conditions, 16-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is generally considered to be relatively safe. However, like all chemicals, it should be used under proper laboratory safety practices. Direct exposure to skin and eyes should be avoided, and appropriate protective measures (such as gloves and goggles) are necessary. If contact or inhalation occurs, wash off immediately or seek medical assistance.
