Description:Methyl (6E)-octadec-6-enoate, with the CAS number 14620-36-1, is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a double bond located at the sixth carbon from the methyl end of the molecule. This compound is part of the fatty acid ester family and is typically derived from natural sources, such as plant oils. It exhibits properties common to fatty acid esters, including being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and polymerization under certain conditions. Methyl (6E)-octadec-6-enoate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is often studied for its potential applications in biodiesel production, as well as in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and surfactants. Additionally, its structural characteristics make it of interest in the fields of biochemistry and materials science.
