:9,12-Octadecadienamide
Description:
9,12-Octadecadienamide, also known as oleamide, is an unsaturated fatty acid amide derived from oleic acid. It features a long hydrocarbon chain with two double bonds located at the 9th and 12th carbon positions, contributing to its amphiphilic nature. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tail. Oleamide is known for its role as a surfactant and lubricant, and it has applications in various industries, including cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential biological activities, including effects on sleep regulation and as a signaling molecule in the central nervous system. Its unique structural properties allow it to interact with lipid membranes, making it of interest in biochemistry and material science. Safety data indicates that while it is generally regarded as safe, handling should be done with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
