About Palmitoyl Chloride

Palmitoyl chloride is a long-chain fatty acid chloride derived from palmitic acid, characterized by a highly reactive acyl chloride functional group that readily participates in esterification and amidation reactions. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sharp odor and is moisture-sensitive, decomposing in the presence of water. Common synonyms include hexadecanoyl chloride, palmitic acid chloride, and n-hexadecanoyl chloride. In terms of applications, palmitoyl chloride is widely used as an acylating agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the manufacture of surfactants, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and specialty chemicals, as well as in biochemical research for protein and peptide lipid modification (palmitoylation).
