cis-13-Eicosenoic acid

Description:
Cis-13-Eicosenoic acid, also known as gadoleic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain consisting of 20 carbon atoms with a double bond located at the 13th carbon in the cis configuration. This structural feature contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, including a lower melting point compared to saturated fatty acids of similar chain length, which allows it to remain liquid at room temperature. Gadoleic acid is typically found in certain fish oils and plant oils, and it plays a role in various biological processes, including cellular membrane fluidity and signaling. Its presence in dietary sources can contribute to health benefits, such as improved lipid profiles. In terms of reactivity, the double bond in the cis configuration can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and hydrogenation. Gadoleic acid is also of interest in the production of biodiesel and as a potential feedstock for the synthesis of bio-based materials.
