LIGNOCERIC ACID METHYL ESTER Usage And Synthesis

Description

Lignoceric acid methyl ester is an esterified form of lignoceric acid . It has been found in biodiesel produced from several types of animal fat.

Chemical Properties

Wax-like solid. Insolublein water; soluble in alcohol and ether. Combustible.

Uses

Methyl tetracosanoate may be used as an external standard to study the pentafluorobenzylation reaction of estradiol in a biphasic methylene chloride/sodium hydroxide system and in the absence of phase transfer agents by gas chromatography technique (GC).
Methyl tetracosanoate may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in biodiesel produced from yellow horn oil using high-performance liquid chromatography technique.

Uses

Intermediate in special synthesis, biochemicalresearch, reference standard in gas chromatography.

Definition

Themethyl ester of lignoceric acid.
