19-methylarachidic acid

Description:
19-Methylarachidic acid, also known by its systematic name as 19-methyl-icosanoic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid characterized by a 20-carbon backbone with a methyl group at the 19th carbon position. This structural feature distinguishes it from arachidic acid, which has a straight-chain structure without the methyl substitution. The molecular formula of 19-methylarachidic acid is C21H42O2, indicating the presence of two oxygen atoms typically found in carboxylic acids. It is a solid at room temperature and exhibits typical fatty acid properties, such as being insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the methyl group can influence its melting point, solubility, and biological activity compared to its non-methylated counterparts. This compound may be of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, due to its potential applications in the synthesis of surfactants, lubricants, and other chemical intermediates. As with many fatty acids, it may also play a role in biological processes and lipid metabolism.
