The Uses of 15-HYDROXYPENTADECANOIC ACID
15-Hydroxypentadecanoic acid is suitable reagent used in the following studies:
- As an internal standard in the quantification of formation of 11-hydroxylauric acid by gas chromatography.
- In the synthesis of [16-14C]16DCA (DCA= dicarboxylic acid) by one-carbon elongation procedure at C15.
- As an internal standard for the normalization of intensities in the mass spectra of plant cutin polymer.
Definition
ChEBI: An omega-hydroxy fatty acid that is pentadecanoic acid in which one of the hydrogens of the terminal methyl group has been replaced by a hydroxy group.
General Description
15-Hydroxypentadecanoic acid undergoes lactonization reaction catalyzed by Mucor javanicus L46 and Mucor miehei to afford macrocyclic mono- and oligolactone derivatives. Its lipase-catalyzed synthesis from 15-tetracosenoic acid in Malania Olcifera Chum oil has been proposed. It also participates in the biosynthesis of pentadecanolide.
