6,9,12-Hexadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, (6Z,9Z,12Z)-

Description:

6,9,12-Hexadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, also known by its systematic name (6Z,9Z,12Z)-hexadeca-6,9,12-trienoate, is a methyl ester derived from a polyunsaturated fatty acid. This compound features a long carbon chain with three double bonds located at the 6th, 9th, and 12th positions, all in the Z configuration, which indicates the cis arrangement of hydrogen atoms around the double bonds. The presence of multiple double bonds contributes to its unsaturation, affecting its physical properties such as melting point and solubility. Typically, such compounds are liquid at room temperature and may exhibit a lower viscosity compared to saturated fatty acids. They are often studied for their potential applications in nutrition, biochemistry, and as precursors in the synthesis of various bioactive molecules. Additionally, due to their unsaturated nature, they may participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation, which can influence their stability and shelf life.
