S-dodecyl hexadecanethioate, also known as 1-dodecyl hexadecanethioate or hexadecyl laurate, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C28H56OS. It is an organic ester derived from the reaction of dodecyl alcohol (a 12-carbon alcohol) and hexadecanoic acid (a 16-carbon fatty acid). S-dodecyl hexadecanethioate is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chains, which contribute to its surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications such as emulsifiers, lubricants, and in the formulation of personal care products. Its amphiphilic nature allows it to reduce surface tension in liquids and stabilize mixtures of oil and water, which is why it is often employed in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2487-77-6 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,4,8 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2487-77: (6*2)+(5*4)+(4*8)+(3*7)+(2*7)+(1*7)=106 106 % 10 = 6 So 2487-77-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
