(2R)-3-(Stearoyloxy)-2-(tetradecanoyloxy)propyl 2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl phosphate(CAS: 20664-02-2)

The compound has a crystalline form with a molecular weight of approximately 811.4 g/mol. It is poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This phosphatide exhibits moderate reactivity, particularly towards nucleophiles and bases. It may undergo hydrolysis and ester exchange reactions under certain conditions.

The compound is synthesized via the condensation of stearoyl and tetradecanoyl derivatives with a trimethylammonium phospholipid. Common solvents like dichloromethane are used, with a catalyst like 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) to improve yield and selectivity. The reaction is typically carried out at room temperature.

This phospholipid is used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals for its stability and biocompatibility, polymers for functionalization and surface modification, and sensors for detection and analysis applications. It may also find applications in semiconductors for specific surface coatings and treatments.

Handle the compound in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of spill, neutralize with a suitable base and dispose of according to local regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety information.
