Ethyl (8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)-8,11,14,17-eicosatetraenoate

Description:
Ethyl (8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)-8,11,14,17-eicosatetraenoate, commonly referred to as ethyl eicosatetraenoate, is an unsaturated fatty acid ester characterized by its long carbon chain and multiple double bonds. This compound features a total of 20 carbon atoms and four cis double bonds located at the 8th, 11th, 14th, and 17th positions, which contribute to its unique structural and physical properties. As an ester, it is formed from the reaction of eicosatetraenoic acid and ethanol. Ethyl eicosatetraenoate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a relatively low viscosity. Its unsaturation makes it susceptible to oxidation, which can affect its stability and shelf life. This compound is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and nutrition, due to its potential role in human health, particularly in relation to omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Additionally, it may be utilized in the synthesis of other chemical compounds or as a component in formulations for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
