4,7,10,13-Hexadecatetraenoic acid, methyl ester, (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z)-

Description:

4,7,10,13-Hexadecatetraenoic acid, methyl ester, known by its CAS number 873108-81-7, is a methyl ester derivative of a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid. This compound features four double bonds in its carbon chain, specifically at the 4th, 7th, 10th, and 13th positions, all in the Z configuration, which indicates that the hydrogen atoms adjacent to the double bonds are on the same side, contributing to its cis-geometry. The presence of multiple double bonds imparts significant reactivity and influences its physical properties, such as lower melting points compared to saturated fatty acids. This compound is typically found in various natural sources and can be synthesized for research purposes. It is of interest in fields such as biochemistry and nutrition due to its potential roles in cellular processes and health implications. Additionally, its methyl ester form enhances its solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a precursor in the synthesis of bioactive lipids and in studies related to fatty acid metabolism.
