:12-Oxooctadecanoic acid
Description:
12-Oxooctadecanoic acid, also known as 12-oxo-oleic acid, is a fatty acid derivative characterized by a ketone functional group at the 12th carbon of the octadecanoic acid chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow solid or liquid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrophobic carbon chain. The presence of the ketone group introduces unique reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and reduction processes. 12-Oxooctadecanoic acid is of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to lipid metabolism and signaling pathways. It may also have applications in the development of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other industrial products. As with many fatty acids, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
