:8,11,14-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, (Z,Z,Z)-
Description:
8,11,14-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl alpha-linolenate, is a methyl ester derived from alpha-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid. This compound features three double bonds in its carbon chain, specifically at the 8th, 11th, and 14th positions, all in the cis (Z) configuration, which contributes to its fluidity and reactivity. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. Methyl alpha-linolenate is known for its nutritional properties, as it serves as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for human health, particularly in cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory functions. Additionally, it is utilized in various applications, including food products, cosmetics, and as a potential biofuel. Its stability can be affected by exposure to light and air, leading to oxidation, which is a consideration in its storage and use.
