| Palmityl acetate Usage And Synthesis |
Description |
Palmityl acetate is an ester compound with a waxy odour. Palmityl acetate, an acetate ester derived from hexadecan-1-ol (palmityl alcohol), is used as an emollient, masking agent and skin conditioner. It can also be used as a plasticizer or stabilizer in producing plastics and resins. It is a pheromone constituent present in various species of mouse, arachnid and insect. It has a cosmetic role, as well as a pheromone and an epitope.
| Uses | Hexadecyl Acetate is a plant sex pheromone. | Definition | ChEBI: Palmityl acetate is an acetate ester derived from hexadecan-1-ol (palmityl alcohol); used as an emollient, masking agent and skin conditioner; pheromone constituent present in various species of mouse, arachnid and insect. It has a role as a cosmetic, a pheromone and an epitope. It is functionally related to a hexadecan-1-ol. | Flammability and Explosibility | Non flammable | Purification Methods | Distil the ester in a vacuum twice, then recrystallise it several times from diethyl ether/MeOH.
