9,11,13-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, (9Z,11E,13E)-

Description:

9,11,13-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl alpha-linolenate, is a methyl ester derived from alpha-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid. This compound is characterized by its long carbon chain, consisting of 18 carbon atoms and three double bonds located at the 9th, 11th, and 13th positions, with specific geometric configurations (9Z, 11E, 13E). It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The presence of multiple double bonds contributes to its reactivity and susceptibility to oxidation, making it important in various biochemical processes. Methyl alpha-linolenate is often studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and its role in cardiovascular health. It is also utilized in food products, cosmetics, and as a potential biofuel. Proper storage conditions are essential to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
