CAS 20221-27-6: Methyl trans-9,cis-12-octadecadienoate

Description:Methyl trans-9,cis-12-octadecadienoate, commonly known as methyl linoleate, is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester derived from linoleic acid. It features a long hydrocarbon chain with two double bonds located at the 9th and 12th carbon positions, exhibiting a trans configuration at the first double bond and a cis configuration at the second. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Methyl linoleate is commonly found in various vegetable oils and is utilized in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications due to its emollient properties. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of other bioactive compounds and is studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Its chemical structure contributes to its reactivity and stability, making it an important compound in both industrial and nutritional contexts.
