4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoyl chloride,(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-

Description:

4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoyl chloride, with the CAS number 98776-99-9, is a chemical compound characterized by its long-chain fatty acid structure, specifically a 22-carbon chain with six double bonds in the cis configuration. This compound is a derivative of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), where the carboxylic acid group has been converted into an acyl chloride, enhancing its reactivity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and dichloromethane. The presence of multiple double bonds contributes to its unsaturated nature, making it susceptible to oxidation. This compound is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various bioactive molecules and in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems. Due to its reactivity, it is important to handle it with care, as it can react with water and alcohols, releasing hydrochloric acid. Overall, 4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoyl chloride is significant in biochemical research and industrial applications involving fatty acid derivatives.
