Lauric Acid ethyl ester (CAS 106-33-2)
QUICK LINKS
Lauric Acid Ethyl Ester, known by the CAS number 106-33-2, is an ethyl ester derived from lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid predominantly found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. This esterification with ethanol modifies several of lauric acid′s natural properties, such as its melting point and solubility, which broadens its utility in non-medical research fields like organic chemistry, materials science, and industrial applications. In research, Lauric Acid Ethyl Ester is frequently employed to investigate the physicochemical properties of medium-chain fatty acid esters, including their phase behavior, solubility in various solvents, and thermal stability. These studies are essential for applications in the development of biodiesel, where Lauric Acid Ethyl Ester is evaluated for its potential to enhance biodiesel properties such as oxidation stability and low-temperature performance. Additionally, this ester is explored in the realm of renewable materials, particularly in the synthesis of environmentally friendly polymers and surfactants, where its ability to act as a lubricant or softener can improve product sustainability and biodegradability. Through such diverse applications, Lauric Acid Ethyl Ester contributes significantly to advancements in understanding the role of fatty acid esters in industrial and environmental technologies.
