:(Z)-7-Tetradecenoic acid
Description:
(Z)-7-Tetradecenoic acid, also known as palmitoleic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a double bond located at the seventh carbon from the carboxylic acid end. It has the molecular formula C14H26O2 and features a cis configuration at the double bond, which influences its physical properties and biological functions. This fatty acid is typically found in various natural sources, including certain fish oils and plant oils, and plays a role in cellular metabolism and membrane fluidity. It is known for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and its role in lipid metabolism. In terms of physical characteristics, (Z)-7-tetradecenoic acid is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a characteristic fatty odor. Its solubility in organic solvents is high, while its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic nature. As a fatty acid, it can participate in various biochemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation, making it significant in both nutrition and biochemistry.
