About the compound: | This
molecule consist of an 18-carbon chain fatty acid with double bonds between
carbons 10 and 11 (E configuration) and between carbons 12 and 13 (Z
configuration). The terminal carboxylic acid group (-COOH) of this fatty acid
is esterified with methanol, converting it into a methyl ester (-COOCH3).The
primary use of fatty acid methyl esters, including (10E,12Z)-Methyl Ester
10,12-Octadecadienoate, would be as components of biodiesel. Biodiesel is
produced by reacting triglycerides (from vegetable oils or animal fats) with
methanol in the presence of a catalyst, yielding fatty acid methyl esters and
glycerol. |
