Octadecanethioic acid, S-tetradecyl ester, also known as palmitic acid, 2-tetradecyl ester, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C32H64O2S. It is an ester derived from the reaction of octadecanethioic acid (a sulfur-containing fatty acid) and tetradecanol (a 14-carbon alcohol). octadecanethioic acid, S-tetradecyl ester is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chains, which contribute to its surfactant properties, making it useful in various industrial applications such as lubricants, emulsifiers, and stabilizers. It is also found in nature as a component of certain waxes and oils. The compound's structure provides it with unique properties, such as its ability to lower surface tension in liquids, which is why it is often used in formulations that require improved wetting or dispersion characteristics.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2307-40-6 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,3,0 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2307-40: (6*2)+(5*3)+(4*0)+(3*7)+(2*4)+(1*0)=56 56 % 10 = 6 So 2307-40-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
