cis-5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid methyl*ester

Description:
Cis-5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid methyl ester, also known as methyl cis-5,8,11-eicosatrienoate, is a methyl ester derived from eicosatrienoic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid. This compound features a long carbon chain with a total of 20 carbon atoms and three cis double bonds located at the 5th, 8th, and 11th positions. The presence of these double bonds contributes to its unsaturated nature, influencing its physical properties such as lower melting points compared to saturated fatty acids. As a methyl ester, it is typically more soluble in organic solvents and exhibits characteristics common to fatty acid esters, including potential applications in biodiesel production and as a precursor in the synthesis of various bioactive compounds. The compound is of interest in nutritional and biochemical studies due to its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties. Its CAS number, 14602-39-2, uniquely identifies it in chemical databases, facilitating research and regulatory compliance.
