Methyl Oleate Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties colourless liquid
Uses Intermediate for detergents, emulsifiers, wet-ting agents, stabilizers, textile treatment, plasti-cizers for duplicating inks, rubbers, waxes, etc.;biochemical research, chromatographic referencestandard.
Definition ChEBI: A fatty acid methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of oleic acid with methanol.
General Description Clear to amber liquid. Insoluble in water.
Air & Water Reactions Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile Esters, such as (Z)-9-Octadecenoic acid methyl ester, react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides
Fire Hazard Combustible
Safety Profile Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data by skin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes
Purification Methods Purify the oleate by fractional distillation under reduced pressure, and by low temperature crystallisation from acetone. Store it in the dark under N2. [Beilstein 2 IV 1649.]
