Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyl tetradecanoate
DescriptionMethyl tetradecanoate, also known as myristate methyl ester or metholeneat 2495, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. Fatty acid methyl esters are compounds containing a fatty acid that is esterified with a methyl group. They have the general structure RC(=O)OR', where R=fatty aliphatic tail or organyl group and R'=methyl group. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methyl tetradecanoate.
