:7,10-Hexadecadienoic acid, methyl ester
Description:
7,10-Hexadecadienoic acid, methyl ester, also known as methyl 7,10-hexadecadienoate, is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester characterized by its long carbon chain and two double bonds located at the 7th and 10th carbon positions. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of double bonds contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and polymerization under certain conditions. It is often used in various applications, including as a precursor in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, surfactants, and in the production of biodiesel. The compound's structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and hydrogenation. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activities, which can be of interest in fields such as nutrition and pharmacology. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
