2-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, (E)-

Description:
2-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, (E)-, also known as methyl oleate, is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a double bond in the cis configuration. This compound typically features a carbon chain of 18 carbon atoms with a double bond located between the ninth and tenth carbon atoms from the methyl end, which contributes to its unsaturation. Methyl oleate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is commonly used in various applications, including as a biodiesel feedstock, in cosmetics, and as a lubricant. The presence of the double bond imparts certain reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation, which is an important consideration in storage and application. Additionally, methyl oleate can be derived from natural sources, such as vegetable oils, making it a renewable resource in the context of sustainable chemistry.
