Oleyl alcohol / ˈ oʊ l i ˌ ɪ l, ˈ oʊ l i əl /, [1] or cis-9-octadecen-1-ol, is an unsaturated fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C 18 H 36 O or the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 −CH=CH−(CH 2) 8 OH. It is a colorless oil, mainly used in cosmetics.
In chemical terms, oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, abbreviated with a lipid number of 18:1 cis-9, and a main product of Δ9-desaturase. [2] It has the formula CH 3 −(CH 2) 7 −CH=CH−(CH 2) 7 −COOH. [3] [page needed] The name derives from the Latin word oleum, which means oil. [4]
Oleylamine is an organic compound with a molecular formula C 18 H 35 NH 2. [1] It is an unsaturated fatty amine related to the fatty acid oleic acid.The pure compound is a clear and colorless liquid.
Butyl oleate is a fatty acid ester and an organic chemical found in liquid form. It has the formula C 22 H 42 O 2 and the CAS Registry Number 142-77-8. [ 2 ] It is REACH registered and produced or imported into the European Union with the EC number of 205-559-6.
Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is an endogenous peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α) agonist.It is a naturally occurring ethanolamide lipid that regulates feeding and body weight in vertebrates ranging from mice to pythons.
Oleamide is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 CH=CH(CH 2) 7 CONH 2. [3] It is the amide derived from the fatty acid oleic acid. It is a colorless waxy solid and occurs in nature. Sometimes labeled as a fatty acid primary amide (FAPA), it is biosynthesized from N-oleoylglycine. [4]
A standard method for the preparation of N-acylamino acids is the Schotten-Baumann reaction, in which oleoyl chloride (from oleic acid and, e.g. phosphorus trichloride) is added to an aqueous solution of N-methylglycine at pH 10 (kept constant by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution).
