cis-12-octadecenoic acid

Description:
Cis-12-octadecenoic acid, also known as cis-12-octadecenoate or by its common name, oleic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a double bond located at the 12th carbon from the carboxylic acid end. This configuration gives it the "cis" designation, indicating that the hydrogen atoms adjacent to the double bond are on the same side, which affects its physical properties. It is typically found in various natural fats and oils, particularly in olive oil and other vegetable oils. The presence of the double bond contributes to its fluidity, making it a liquid at room temperature. Cis-12-octadecenoic acid is known for its health benefits, including its role in reducing bad cholesterol levels and promoting heart health. It is also used in various industrial applications, including the production of soaps, cosmetics, and as a lubricant. Its chemical formula is C18H34O2, and it is soluble in organic solvents but less soluble in water.
