(2E,6E,10E)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraenoic acid

Description:

(2E,6E,10E)-3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraenoic acid, also known as a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid, is characterized by its long carbon chain and multiple double bonds, specifically in the E configuration. This compound features a total of four double bonds, which contribute to its reactivity and influence its physical properties, such as melting point and solubility. The presence of multiple methyl groups along the carbon chain enhances its hydrophobic character, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. This fatty acid is likely to exhibit significant biological activity, as many polyunsaturated fatty acids play crucial roles in cellular functions and signaling pathways. Its structure suggests potential applications in biochemistry and nutrition, particularly in the study of lipid metabolism and the development of dietary supplements. Additionally, the specific arrangement of double bonds may affect its stability and reactivity, which are important factors in both industrial and biological contexts.
