(5Z,8Z)-5,8-Tetradecadienoic acid

Description:

(5Z,8Z)-5,8-Tetradecadienoic acid, also known as 5,8-tetradecadienoic acid, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain and two double bonds located at the 5th and 8th carbon positions, both in the cis configuration. This structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, including a relatively low melting point compared to saturated fatty acids, which allows it to remain liquid at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. This fatty acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and nutrition, as it may play a role in cellular functions and metabolic processes. Additionally, it can be found in certain plant oils and is studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties. Its CAS number, 39039-37-7, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
