Oleoyl chloride
Oleoyl chloride (CAS: 112-77-6) is an acid halide derived from oleic acid. With a molecular weight of 300.91 g/mol, this compound serves as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis. It is particularly useful for introducing the oleoyl group into various molecules, finding applications in the synthesis of esters, amides, and other derivatives. Its utility spans across chemical research and industrial applications.
Organic Synthesis Intermediate
Oleoyl chloride is a key building block for introducing the oleoyl moiety (C18:1) into organic molecules. It readily reacts with nucleophiles such as alcohols and amines to form esters and amides, respectively.
Synthesis of Specialty Esters and Amides
It is employed in the creation of complex esters and amides with potential uses in surfactants, lubricants, and personal care products. The unsaturated nature of the oleoyl chain imparts specific physical properties to the resulting compounds.
Biochemical Research
As a derivative of oleic acid, oleoyl chloride can be utilised in biochemical research for modifying lipids or synthesising lipid analogues. This aids in studying biological pathways and developing new research reagents.
