(Z)-13-Octadecenal, also known as (Z)-octadec-13-enal, is a long-chain unsaturated aldehyde characterized by its 18-carbon chain with a double bond located at the 13th carbon in the Z configuration. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. (Z)-13-Octadecenal is notable for its role in various biological processes and can be found in certain natural oils and fats. It is also used in the synthesis of fragrances, flavoring agents, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and polymerization under certain conditions. As with many aldehydes, it may exhibit mild irritant properties, necessitating appropriate handling precautions in laboratory and industrial settings.
