Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid
Description2-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid (CAS: 764-67-0), also known as 2-hydroxypalmitic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. Long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. The chain of 2-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid bears a hydroxyl group. 2-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid occurs in wool fat, which is used as a chewing gum softener.
