Molecular Structure
Detailed Description
Methyl oleate CAS:112-62-9 is a fatty acid methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of oleic acid with methanol. It derives from an oleic acid. ChEBI. Oleic acid methyl ester is a clear to amber liquid.
Methyl oleate CAS:112-62-9 is an intermediate for detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, stabilizers, textile treatments, plasticizers for duplicating inks, rubbers, waxes etc. It is also used in biochemical research as a chromatographic reference standard.
Methyl oleate CAS: 112-62-9 is key intermediate of detergent, emulsifizer, wetting agent and stabilizer, also widely used as organic intermediate.
Its analogue, methyl palmitate CAS: 112-39-0, is also available from UCHEM in large quantity.
