Heptadecanedioic acid(CAS: 2424-90-0)

Heptadecanedioic acid (CAS: 2424-90-0) is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 306.39 g/mol. It has a solubility of up to 0.5 g/L in water. Chemically, it is moderately reactive and can form esters and amides. It is used in various applications where its acidic properties are beneficial.

Heptadecanedioic acid (CAS: 2424-90-0) is typically synthesized through the dehydration of 17-hydroxypalmitic acid or via the reduction and oxidation of palmitoyl chloride. Common catalysts used include sulfuric acid and sodium bisulfite, yielding a high selectivity and good yield.

Heptadecanedioic acid (CAS: 2424-90-0) is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain drugs, in the polymer industry for creating functionalized polymers, and in the sensor and semiconductor industries for its acidic properties and reactivity.

When handling Heptadecanedioic acid (CAS: 2424-90-0), it is important to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. In case of spill, use appropriate cleanup procedures and refer to the SDS for further information.
