| | PALMITYL ACETATE Usage And Synthesis |
| 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.
