:cis-8-Octadecenoic acid
Description:
Cis-8-Octadecenoic acid, commonly known as oleic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain with a double bond located at the eighth carbon from the carboxylic acid end. This configuration gives it the "cis" designation, indicating that the hydrogen atoms adjacent to the double bond are on the same side, which influences its physical properties. Oleic acid is typically a colorless or yellowish oily liquid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It has a relatively low melting point compared to saturated fatty acids of similar chain length, which contributes to its liquid state at room temperature. Oleic acid is widely found in nature, particularly in olive oil, and is utilized in various applications, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It plays a significant role in human nutrition and is known for its health benefits, such as promoting heart health and reducing inflammation. Additionally, it serves as a precursor for the synthesis of other bioactive compounds and is important in industrial processes.
