14-Pentadecenoic acid, methyl ester

Description:
14-Pentadecenoic acid, methyl ester, also known as methyl 14-pentadecenoate, is a fatty acid methyl ester characterized by its long carbon chain and the presence of a double bond in its structure. It typically features a 15-carbon backbone with a double bond located at the 14th carbon position, which classifies it as an unsaturated fatty acid. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is often used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent, in the production of biodiesel, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The presence of the double bond contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in chemical reactions such as polymerization and transesterification. Additionally, its fatty acid profile may have implications for nutritional and health-related studies, particularly in the context of dietary fats and their effects on human health.
