Malvalic acid
IUPAC 名称
7-(2-octylcycloprop-1-en-1-yl)heptanoic acid
描述
Malvalic acid, also known as 2-octyl-1-cyclopropene-1-heptanoic acid or 8,9-methylen-8-heptadecensaeure, is a member of the class of compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. Long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. Thus, malvalic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Malvalic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Malvalic acid can be found in peanut and roselle, which makes malvalic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Malvalic acid is a cyclopropenic fatty acid found in cottonseed oil. The cyclopropene ring is thought to be one of the causes of abnormalities that develop in animals that ingest cottonseed oil. This reactivity could be cause for concern depending on concentration. Hydrogenation of the oil destroys malvalic acid .
