:10-Heptadecenoic acid, (10E)-
Description:
10-Heptadecenoic acid, also known as (10E)-heptadecenoic acid, is a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid characterized by a double bond located at the 10th carbon from the carboxylic acid end of the molecule. This compound features a 17-carbon backbone, making it a member of the fatty acid family. The "E" designation indicates that the double bond has a trans configuration, which influences its physical and chemical properties. Typically, unsaturated fatty acids like 10-heptadecenoic acid exhibit lower melting points compared to their saturated counterparts, contributing to their liquid state at room temperature. This fatty acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and nutrition, due to its potential roles in metabolic processes and its presence in certain natural oils. Additionally, it may have applications in the production of biodiesel and as a precursor for synthesizing other chemical compounds. As with many fatty acids, its behavior in biological systems can be influenced by its structure, affecting membrane fluidity and cellular functions.
