(11Z)-hexadec-11-enoic acid

Description:

(11Z)-Hexadec-11-enoic acid, also known as palmitoleic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a double bond located at the 11th carbon from the carboxylic acid end, in the Z configuration. This structure contributes to its unique properties, including a relatively low melting point compared to saturated fatty acids of similar chain length, making it liquid at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. This fatty acid is naturally occurring in various animal and plant fats, particularly in macadamia nuts and sea buckthorn oil. It plays a role in various biological processes, including cell membrane fluidity and signaling pathways. Additionally, (11Z)-hexadec-11-enoic acid is of interest in nutrition and health, as it may have beneficial effects on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. Its CAS number, 2416-20-8, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
