5,9-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester, (Z,Z)-

Description:
5,9-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 5,9-octadecadienoate, is a methyl ester derived from the fatty acid 5,9-octadecadienoic acid. This compound features a long hydrocarbon chain with two double bonds in the cis configuration, specifically at the 5th and 9th carbon positions, which contributes to its unsaturated nature. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The presence of double bonds imparts unique chemical reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and polymerization. This compound is of interest in various applications, including as a potential biofuel, in the production of surfactants, and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its fatty acid methyl ester structure also makes it relevant in studies related to lipid metabolism and nutrition. As with many unsaturated fatty acid derivatives, it may exhibit biological activity, influencing cellular processes and signaling pathways.
