Usage

Chemical Description

Methyl linoleate is a fatty acid used in the evaluation of antioxidant activity.

Description

METHYL LINOLEATE, also known as Methyl (9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoate, is a fatty acid ester derived from the esterification of linoleic acid with methanol. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, fatty odor. METHYL LINOLEATE is a promising chemical intermediate for various applications due to its unique chemical properties and versatile reactivity.
