9,12-Hexadecadienoic acid, methyl ester, (Z,Z)- (8CI,9CI)

Description:

9,12-Hexadecadienoic acid, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl 9,12-hexadecadienoate, is a methyl ester derived from hexadecadienoic acid, which features two double bonds in its carbon chain. This compound is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 16 carbon atoms, with the double bonds located at the 9th and 12th positions, both in the cis (Z) configuration. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fatty odor. As a methyl ester, it is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water. This compound is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, due to its potential applications in the synthesis of biodiesel, surfactants, and other chemical intermediates. Additionally, it may have implications in nutritional studies and the development of functional foods, given its fatty acid composition. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
