:21-Methyldocosanoic acid
Description:
21-Methyldocosanoic acid, also known as 21-methyl-docosanoic acid, is a long-chain saturated fatty acid characterized by a straight-chain hydrocarbon structure with a carboxylic acid functional group at one end. Its molecular formula is C23H46O2, indicating it contains 23 carbon atoms and two oxygen atoms. This fatty acid is a derivative of docosanoic acid (also known as behenic acid) with a methyl group attached at the 21st carbon position. It is typically found in various natural sources, including certain plant oils and animal fats. The presence of the methyl group can influence its physical properties, such as melting point and solubility, making it less soluble in water compared to shorter-chain fatty acids. 21-Methyldocosanoic acid may have applications in biochemistry and materials science, particularly in the study of lipid metabolism and the development of surfactants or emulsifiers. As with many fatty acids, it may also exhibit biological activity, although specific studies on its effects and applications may be limited.
