Cis-12-octadecenoic acid methyl ester, also known as methyl cis-12-octadecenoate, is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a cis double bond configuration at the 12th carbon position. This compound is derived from the methyl esterification of cis-12-octadecenoic acid, which is a fatty acid commonly found in various natural oils. It typically exhibits a low melting point and is liquid at room temperature, making it suitable for use in biodiesel production and as a potential bio-lubricant. The presence of the cis double bond contributes to its fluidity and reactivity, influencing its behavior in chemical reactions and interactions with biological systems. Additionally, this compound is of interest in the fields of biochemistry and nutrition due to its potential health benefits associated with unsaturated fatty acids. Its molecular structure includes a long hydrophobic tail, which affects its solubility and emulsifying properties in various applications.
