CAS 57303-02-3: Phosphoric acid, mono(2-aminoethyl) monohexadecyl ester

Hexadecylphosphoethanolamine is a polyunsaturated phospholipid that is found in the cell membrane. It is an antiestrogen and has been shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of estrogens by conjugating with them. Hexadecylphosphoethanolamine has also been shown to be involved in leukemia cells, pro-apoptotic protein synthesis, and inhibiting properties. Active substances that are present in this phospholipid include carboxylic acid and choline, which are pharmacological agents. The addition of hexadecylphosphoethanolamine to food additives can increase uptake by fat tissue.

Hexadecylphosphoethanolamine is a high quality, reagent and complex compound that is useful as an intermediate in the preparation of a variety of fine chemicals. It can also be used as a reactive scaffold for the synthesis of more complex building blocks, such as butadienes, diamines and polymers. Hexadecylphosphoethanolamine has been shown to be a versatile building block for the synthesis of many different compounds. Hexadecylphosphoethanolamine has been found to react with acid chlorides to produce hexadecanols. In addition, it can be used in the production of speciality chemicals and research chemicals.
