CAS 506-30-9
:Eicosanoic acid
Description:
Eicosanoic acid, also known as arachidic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid with the molecular formula C20H40O2. It is characterized by a straight-chain structure consisting of 20 carbon atoms and a carboxylic acid functional group at one end. Eicosanoic acid is typically found in various natural fats and oils, particularly in certain plant and animal lipids. It is a solid at room temperature and has a high melting point due to its long carbon chain, which contributes to its waxy texture. This fatty acid is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Eicosanoic acid plays a role in the formation of waxes and is used in the production of surfactants, lubricants, and cosmetics. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of bioactive lipids involved in various physiological processes. Its CAS number, 506-30-9, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
