:9-Tetradecenoic acid, ethyl ester, (9E)-
Description:
9-Tetradecenoic acid, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 9-tetradecenoate, is an unsaturated fatty acid ester characterized by its long carbon chain and a double bond located at the ninth carbon from the carboxyl end. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic fatty odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to oxidation and polymerization under certain conditions. This ester is commonly used in the production of flavoring agents, fragrances, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may have applications in the food industry and in the formulation of various cosmetic products. Its chemical structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and transesterification, which are important in the production of biodiesel and other bio-based materials. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
