Usage

Uses

Used in Cosmetic Industry:
Heptacosanoic acid methyl ester is used as an emollient and thickening agent in skincare products for its ability to provide a smooth and soft texture, lock in moisture, and protect the skin from environmental stressors.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
In the pharmaceutical sector, heptacosanoic acid methyl ester serves a similar purpose as in cosmetics, acting as an emollient and thickening agent to enhance the texture and efficacy of topical formulations.
Used in Perfumery:
Heptacosanoic acid methyl ester is used as a fixative in the production of perfumes and fragrances, helping to extend the longevity of the scent by slowing down the rate of evaporation of the volatile components.
Overall, heptacosanoic acid methyl ester's versatile properties make it a crucial component in a wide range of applications within the chemical and beauty industries, contributing to the enhancement of product performance and consumer experience.

Branched Long Chain Alkyl Methyl Ethers: A New Class of Lipids from Spider Silk

Long chain methyl branched 1-methoxyalkanes, a new class of ether lipids, have been identified from silk of the spider Linyphia triangularis (Araneae: Linyphiidae) by use of gas chromatographic retention indices, GC/MS investigations, and chemical modifications.Methyl groups are predominantly located at C-2, and ω-3 or ω-2 positions, respectively.Chain length varies between C24 and C32.The synthesis of representative compounds is reported.

A New Synthesis of Long Chain Acid Esters and Carbinols

A versatile synthesis of difficulty accessible long chain acid esters and carbinols is described.The synthesis involves acylations at 2- and 5-positions of thiophene.Thioketalation of the resulting ketoesters followed by Raney nickel desulfurization yield acid esters which on LAH reduction give the corresponding carbinols.
