8-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, (8Z)-

Description:
8-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl oleate, is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a cis double bond at the 8th carbon position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Methyl oleate is derived from natural sources, often found in various vegetable oils, and is used in applications such as biodiesel production, as a lubricant, and in cosmetics due to its emollient properties. Its molecular structure contributes to its fluidity and reactivity, making it a valuable compound in both industrial and research settings. Additionally, methyl oleate can undergo various chemical reactions, including hydrogenation and transesterification, which are significant in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its properties, such as viscosity and surface tension, are influenced by the degree of unsaturation and the length of the carbon chain, making it an important subject of study in the fields of biochemistry and materials science.
