2-methyl-tetradecanoic acid, also known as isopalmitic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid with the chemical formula C15H30O2. Its sodium salt, commonly referred to as sodium 2-methyltetradecanoate or sodium isopalmitate, is a derivative formed by the neutralization of the acid with sodium hydroxide. This results in a compound with the chemical formula C15H29NaO2. The sodium salt is often used in various applications due to its solubility in water and its ability to form soap-like substances. It is found in some types of soaps, detergents, and personal care products, and can also be used in the production of lubricants and emulsifiers. The sodium salt of 2-methyl-tetradecanoic acid is known for its mildness and is considered less irritating to the skin compared to some other fatty acid salts.
The CAS Registry Mumber 7434-27-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,4,3 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7434-27: (6*7)+(5*4)+(4*3)+(3*4)+(2*2)+(1*7)=97 97 % 10 = 7 So 7434-27-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
