9,11,13-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, (9Z,11E,13Z)-

Description:
9,11,13-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl alpha-linolenate, is a methyl ester derived from alpha-linolenic acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid. This compound features three double bonds located at the 9th, 11th, and 13th carbon positions, with specific geometric configurations of (9Z, 11E, 13Z), indicating the arrangement of hydrogen atoms around the double bonds. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. This methyl ester is primarily used in the food industry as a dietary supplement and in the production of functional foods due to its beneficial health properties, including anti-inflammatory effects and potential cardiovascular benefits. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of various bioactive compounds and is studied for its role in nutrition and health. Its chemical structure contributes to its reactivity and interactions in biological systems, making it a subject of interest in both nutritional science and biochemistry.
