CAS 112-67-4 Palmitoyl chloride C₁₆H₃₁ClO
Overview
Palmitoyl chloride (palmitoyl chloride 112-67-4) is a long-chain C16 fatty acyl chloride widely used as a highly reactive C16 acyl chloride for pharma intermediates, cosmetic esters, surfactant intermediates and other fine-chemical applications. It reacts readily with alcohols, amines and polyols to form palmitate esters and amides, helping formulators improve lipophilicity, stability and hydrophobicity in APIs, topical formulations and personal-care products.
