trans-2-Hexadecenoic acid

Description:

Trans-2-Hexadecenoic acid, also known as trans-hexadec-2-enoic acid, is a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid characterized by a trans double bond located at the second carbon of the hexadecane chain. Its molecular formula is C16H30O2, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group, which contributes to its acidic properties. This fatty acid is typically found in various natural sources, including certain plant oils and animal fats. The trans configuration of the double bond influences its physical properties, such as melting point and solubility, making it more stable and less reactive compared to its cis counterparts. Trans-2-Hexadecenoic acid is of interest in both nutritional studies and industrial applications, particularly in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other chemical intermediates. Its presence in dietary fats has raised discussions regarding health implications, as trans fatty acids are often associated with adverse cardiovascular effects. Overall, trans-2-Hexadecenoic acid exemplifies the complexity of fatty acid chemistry and its relevance in both biological and industrial contexts.

Δ2-trans-Hexadecenoic Acid

CAS: 929-79-3

Cismonoenoic acids form readily from unsaturated fatty acids in animal tissues, with palmitoleic acid (9-cis-hexadecenoic acid) deriving from palmitic acid. An intermediate, 1Δ2-trans-hexadecenoic acid, arises during the β-oxidation of palmitic acid. Furthermore, Δ2-trans-hexadecenoic acid, at a dose of 10 mg/kg, significantly reduces gastric juice secretion in pylorus-ligated rats, indicating potential for gastric ulceration simulation models.
