:7-Hexadecenoic acid, (E)-
Description:
7-Hexadecenoic acid, (E)-, 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. Its molecular formula is C16H30O2, and it 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, 7-Hexadecenoic acid is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is of interest in both nutritional biochemistry and industrial applications, particularly in the production of biodiesel and as a precursor for various chemical syntheses.
