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

Description:
10-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, (Z)-, 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 10th 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. Its molecular structure consists of 18 carbon atoms, with one double bond, which contributes to its fluidity and lower melting point compared to saturated fatty acids. Methyl oleate is commonly found in various natural oils and fats and is used in the production of biodiesel, as well as in cosmetics and food applications due to its emulsifying properties. Additionally, it exhibits potential as a lubricant and surfactant. The presence of the cis configuration in the double bond influences its physical properties, making it more biologically active and beneficial in various industrial applications.
