Product Description
Palmitoyl chloride, also known as hexadecanoyl chloride or palmitic acid chloride, is a high-purity reagent essential for organic synthesis and biochemical research. With a purity of 98%, this compound is widely used in the preparation of lipid derivatives, surfactants, and pharmaceutical intermediates. Its reactivity makes it ideal for acylation reactions, where it introduces the palmitoyl group into target molecules.
Researchers and students working in organic chemistry labs often rely on palmitoyl chloride for its consistency and reliability. Whether you’re synthesizing new compounds or studying lipid metabolism, this reagent ensures precise results. The 98% purity level minimizes impurities, reducing the risk of side reactions and improving yield.
