Molecular Structure
Detailed Description
Ethyl oleate CAS 111-62-6 is a long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of oleic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an acaricide. It derives from an oleic acid.
Ethyl oleate CAS 111-62-6 appears as colorless to light yellow liquid. It is produced by the body during ethanol intoxication. Ethyl oleate is used as a solvent for pharmaceutical drug preparations involving lipophilic substances such as steroids.
Ethyl oleate CAS 111-62-6 was used to prepare the oily phase of self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) for tacrolimus (Tac).
