18-methylnonadecanoic acid

Description:
18-Methylnonadecanoic acid, also known as 18-methyl-19-nonadecanoic acid, is a branched-chain fatty acid characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and a methyl group at the 18th carbon position. This compound belongs to the class of saturated fatty acids and has a molecular formula that reflects its long carbon chain, contributing to its hydrophobic nature. It is typically found in certain natural fats and oils, particularly in ruminant animal products, where it can be a minor component. The presence of the methyl branch influences its physical properties, such as melting point and solubility, compared to straight-chain fatty acids. 18-methylnonadecanoic acid is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and nutrition, due to its potential effects on lipid metabolism and its role in the composition of dietary fats. Additionally, it may have implications in industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis of surfactants and emulsifiers. Overall, this fatty acid exemplifies the diversity of fatty acid structures and their functional significance in biological systems.
