Description
Stearic acid methyl ester is a fatty acid methyl ester for synthesis with the empirical formula C₁₉H₃₈O₂, a molar mass of 298,51 g/mol and CAS number 112-61-8. It has a flash point of 110 °C and is registered under EG nr. 203-990-4, making it a defined building block for organic synthesis and related laboratory chemistry. Its clear chemical identity and synthesis grade suit esterification studies, lipid-related transformations and analytical comparison. The compact glass pack is practical for research benches that need controlled quantities without excess inventory. Laboratories working across the chemicals range can integrate this ester into multi-step sequences or characterisation workflows that depend on a consistent C₁₈ methyl ester intermediate.
