Myristyl Myristate
Tetradecyl tetradecanoate is a tetradecanoate ester (myristate ester) resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid) with the hydroxy group of tetradecan-1-ol (myristyl alcohol). Used as an emollient. It has a role as an algal metabolite. It is a wax ester and a tetradecanoate ester. It is functionally related to a tetradecan-1-ol. — ChEBI
