6,9-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester, (Z,Z)-

Description:
6,9-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl linoleate, is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and two cis double bonds located at the 6th and 9th carbon atoms. This compound is typically derived from natural sources, such as vegetable oils, and is notable for its role in various biological processes and applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. The presence of double bonds contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation, which can affect its stability and shelf life. Methyl linoleate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is often used in the production of biodiesel, as a food additive, and in cosmetic formulations due to its emollient properties. Additionally, it serves as a precursor for the synthesis of other bioactive compounds and can be involved in metabolic pathways within living organisms.
